Comment string <<< not recognized

Hello,

I am trying to write a custon syntax highlighter INI file. I need, that everything on a line following "<<<" is highlighted as a comment. My file looks like this (without Keywords):

[Settings]
Name=KPM Tickets
FileType=*.txt,*.kpm
CommentString=<<<
HTMLGroup=0
TabWidth=4
CaseSensitive=1
KeyWordChars=_
CodeExplorer=ftUnknown
SingleQuote=1
DoubleQuote=1
[KeyWords]

The Keywirds I write there are highlighted properly, so the file is working somehow. Yet it does not recognize the comments. Why is that?

Careful bump. Is there nobody who would know why PSPad has got a problem with this?

Sorry, I though I wrote you replay.

There is necessary to modify program. I will add your line comment. Can you tell me name of your syntax?

And I need to know more details. This comment can start from any line position or from the begin of the line or from the first position on the line?

Sorry for not replying, I almost gave up checking whether there are any new replies.

Why is it necessary know the name of the syntax? It is custom user syntax, for writing tickets for a specialized bugtracker. I called the file "KPM Tickets.ini". But I wish not that PSPad is offering a Syntax hightlight for KPM-Tickets like it's offering C/C++ or Java. Stuff around this is confidential and it shall only support this if it's got the file linked to one of the user-defined syntax highlight slots.

The comment is meant to start at the end of a line. It's primary purpose is to point our things which are right or wrong. I'll make up an example of a bug for a game in development, so you can see what kind of documents shall be highlighted with KPM Tickets.ini

Action:
You hero talks to the level boss.

Result:
Dialogue window opens.
You hero dies. <<< This is the bug

Expected Result:
Dialogue window opens.
You hero is still alive.

So you see that the comments are meant to be used at the end of a line. Actually, another thing that surprises me is that I cannot define multi-word keywords. I'd like to have Action, Result, and "Expected Result" as keywords. Can't I just add space " " to "KeyWordChars="? This way, if I want to have "Expected Result" highlighted, I have to make "Expected" a keyword itself, but I actually want to have "Expected Result" highlighted and "expected" or "Expected" in all other contexts shall be plain.

Also, for some reason words preceding ":" are highlighted in a different color than normal keywords. I did not define ":" as something special, so why does it do that? Is it because program languages start their loops with ":"? I need to highlight plain text, not a program code. Including ":" as a regular character of keywords ("KeyWordChars=:") does not do the trick.

Here is what I use now as syntax highlight file (I have many more keywords there, just keeping it small as a minimal working example):

;PSPad user HighLighter definition file
[Settings]
Name=KPM Tickets
HTMLGroup=0
Label=1
FileType=*.txt,*.kpm
CommentString=<<<
IndentChar=
UnIndentChar=
TabWidth=4
CaseSensitive=1
SingleQuote=1
DoubleQuote=1
EscString=1
KeyWordChars=_
CodeExplorer=ftUnknown
[KeyWords]
Action=
Expected Result=
Expected=
Result=
[ReservedWords]
[KeyWords2]
[KeyWords3]

Any progress on this one yet?

It's done long time already. Download the latest developer build. Modify your user highlighter - check single line comment <<<
