Hi, Which text Editor can be configured to highlight keywords of special programming language(in my case - PPL )? I am looking for Editor with clear and understandable instructions.

I was expecting at least 10 people to shout: Notepad++ !!! For some reason, that didn't happen. I presume that we are talking Windows. There is supposed to be a Linux version of it, but I never tried it under Linux, and don't know whether it is fully functional, stable or in other ways suitable. Maybe even the Windows version doesn't satisfy your requirements. Maybe it doesn't satisfy your understanding of 'clear and understandable instructions'. Several years ago, I did add syntax coloring for another (script) language, and found it fairly simple - but I am not afraid of editing XML files by hand. In any case, NPP is a great pure text editor. I have used it since I left DOS and Brief ... Some people say that NPP was more a clone of Brief than of Windows Notepad, and I tend to agree. Today it has developed far beyond either. You can find NPP at notepad-plus-plus.org[^]

Thank you. I added highlighting keywords in Notepad++ for my language PPL ( ). It is working, not at all clear, but working. Good decision, I was looking enough time without result and was ready to write own utility for highligting, but instead of that I have time for other things. Thank you very much again and Happy New Year!

Thank you. I added highlighting keywords in Notepad++ for my language PPL (Parentheses Programming Language). It is working, not at all clear, but working. Good decision, I was looking enough time without result and was ready to write own utility for highligting, but instead of that I have time for other things. Thank you very much again and Happy New Year!
