You don't need a plugin, just a new lexer file (http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Creating_a_custom_lexer_for_Code::Blocks_editor).

OK. Does it exist already? Is there any URL it can be downloaded from?

Thank you.

No, but you can create it (see link in above post). An easy way of doing it would be to make a copy of lexer_batch.xml (this one should be close enough), substitute a few keywords, and supply the correct index value.

The index that you will be wanting to use is 62.
