Hi Andrea,
Did you have a look at the QScintilla (unofficial) documentation page?
Here is the page about lexers:
https://qscintilla.com/#syntax_highlighting
And here about your specific question:
https://qscintilla.com/#syntax_highlighting/subclass_qscilexercustom/all_about_styles
Hope it helps.
Kind regards,

Reading the source code gives some hints.
All lexers are really implemented in scintilla (e.g. LexerLua.cpp) in the
lexers folder.
The interface available in Qt is a little layer which does not really contain
the full logic.
This is probably the reason why the lexer in Qt has the functions lexer() and
lexerId().
It is to link to the "real" lexer.
This probably answers my question and to add a new lexers it is a big task.
Only answer is to reuse an existing one and change the keywords.
Cheers
