Is the already existing LexForth.cxx the right file?

http://svn.berlios.de/viewvc/codeblocks/trunk/src/sdk/wxscintilla/src/scintilla/src/LexForth.cxx?view=log

Oops, your are looking for an file with a format like this lexer_*.xml

Yes, but you'll need to implement the C::B's XML configuration file as described here:
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Creating_a_custom_lexer_for_Code::Blocks_editor
BTW: My first contributions to C::B were some lexers, because it was easy after all... hence I had to digg through this, too.

Yes.

I started working on a forth xml-file, should not be so hard.
To create a whole new lexer is not that easy, because it might need recompilation of scintilla (a source-file is needed in most cases).

It would be nice, if you can provide a sample source-file in forth for the syntax-highlighting.
You can have a look at the other samples to see how it's done there.

You should rerun the C::B-installer and chose the lexers you need, because only a basic set of lexers is installed by default.

I'm not sure if it was implemented in the 8.02 release. If not you should use more recent nightly-build.

Great news!  :D
Thank you!

Geee!
Just installed the stealth SVN 6130 nightly deb that popped up on your site, and sure, virtual spaces are there and working. That's going to make my C::B editing life more comfortable, and by a very significant margin.

I was a bit puzzled for a second or two to find the option under "Selections" (in Editor / Margins and caret), but checking the box and trying showed that it was definitly what I was hoping for.

Thanks to the Code::Blocks crew!
