#1 Making own syntax ini-file with reserved words prefixed by “#” character

Posted by: Freeman | Date: 2014-01-06 00:38 | IP: IP Logged

I'm developing new programming language named Cantor and using PSPad for it. I made syntax highlighter for Cantor, but can't highlight reserved words prefixed by hash character.

In Cantor, I'm using reserved words for entities, like in HTML. Because my reserved words are entiries, they're started with “#”.

What am I doing wrong? Is it PSPad bug?

For example, this code should be highlighted:

public class Something of
public TabCharacter = #TAB; // = #9
end;

You can download latest version of ini-file from my Google Code mirror.

In menu Settings / User highlighter add # char into Allowed chars in keywords field

If you are editing the file manually (better is used PSPad form) in section [SETTINGS] change:
KeyWordChars=_#
