Writing a new lexer is not that difficult as it first sounds to be. You need to be well acquinted with the language you kept in mind, especially the set of keywords to be highlighted and structuring blocks to be fold. Then clone the lexer code for one of the language and make your own changes , pay particular attentions to the functions ColourizeXXXDoc and FoldXXXDoc to reflect your language's particular feature (where XXX is to be changed to the name of your language). I found that the SciTE document SciTELexer.html is a very quick and detailed instruction for doing all this. Believe or not, as one who never studied C++ systematically but with some experience in building programs under linux, I was able to produce a new lexer for the graphics drawing language Asymptote in less an hour. So please be encouraged to try it! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/how-to-make-a-properties-file-for-my-own-.-tf3840599.html#a11005837 Sent from the SciTE mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
