Hi there,

Could anyone give some comments on how to highlight URL links in a text file? For example, I want to http://yahoo.com have different collor and underline other than regular text.
Thanks.

Leon

Take a look at TP's text.syn (I think that's the name).

Is the text.syn correct or not?

Look's just like mine.

Go to
Configure->Preferences->Document Classes->Text->Syntax
and check
"Enable syntax highlighting"
and select
"text.syn"
from the dropdown menu.
