<title>Syntax highlighting</title>
|
|
<p><app>gedit</app> provides syntax highlighting for a wide range of markup,
|
|
programming, and scientific languages. If <app>gedit</app> recognizes the
|
|
syntax being used when you open a file, it will automatically highlight the
|
|
text.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If your syntax or language is not highlighted upon startup, you can
|
|
select the appropriate syntax or language by clicking
|
|
<guiseq><gui style="menu">View</gui>
|
|
<gui style="menuitem">Highlight Mode</gui></guiseq>,
|
|
and then choosing the desired syntax. Alternately, you can select the syntax
|
|
name from a list at the bottom of the <app>gedit</app> window.</p>
