Title: Syntax highlighting for js files
Post by: cichmen on June 18, 2009, 09:04:03 am

Hi,

I would like to ask, if there is some other way how to configure CB to syntax highlight javascript files (.js)?

I added *.js to HTML/PHP/ASP/JS lexer filemasks, but no success.

I figured out, that it is possible to workaround it by adding "//<script>" at the begin of the file and "//</script>" at the and of the file. But I don't like it much.

C.

I use C::B for web-development and have added *.js to C/C++-lexer. That works good enough for me.

Thanks for the advice, I added *.js into c/c++ lexer filemasks and "function" into keywords and it works prefectly.
