Hi again. I did what you said last time about adding a new group
called keyword2, and that's fine, but I guess my question this time
was something along the lines of, can I add a keyword3 group and then
how would I know which style number is associated with it?

I asked about the lexer again, but I have no knowledge of C++, so I
don't want to mess anything up.

OK. No, you would not be able to add a "keyword3" group - "keyword2" works because the [Python] lexer's code is written to use it if present.

Look in the .properties file(s) - they are by convention commented enough to show the correspondence between syntactic constructs and style numbers.

Note that while the Scintilla *client* (SciTE in this case) loads the styling information from the .properties file, it is only the lexer itself that *sets* those style bytes in the buffer.

I gave a fairly lengthy reply to this last week... and told you how to
do this.
