i assume that you've read http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/mscite-p.pdf in principle users can add their own keywords as well; catching user defined macros is not possible because that would involve a complete parser > OK, I am not proposing that removing the current ColouriseTeXDoc is a > necessity. > I just wondered if using the lists in it is necessary.
