Highlighting Language Syntax

The Development Environment highlights language keywords, identifiers, comments, and strings in different colors. This feature is useful when learning a language or when viewing lengthy and complex source files. For example, if you are editing a file with a .C extension, all C keywords are highlighted.

You can select the colors to use in highlighting language syntax items with the Color command on the Options menu. See Chapter 7, “Customizing the Development Environment,” for additional information.

·To highlight language syntax in the source window:

1.From the Options menu, choose Color. The Color dialog box appears.

2.Check the Syntax Coloring check box.
