Syntax highlighting for standard doc class

[nothnagel_jens]

I´m using Textpad to edit files that may not have a file extension.
Anyhow i want to use the syntax highlighting function for these files.
But - it is not possible to select this option for the standard doc class.
Creation of a new doc class with *.* won´t work as *.* is part of the standard doc class...
Any idea ?

You want to add the *. to your class, not *.*. Also, you can put your file endings in
any class you like, just remove it from the other class if that's the case. HTH

You need to remove *.* from the default document class and use '*.' to create your new class. You can't just create '*.' on its own because it falls within the *.* superset and therefore doesn't get recognised.

I tried to remove *.* but it is not possible as it is part of the standard...

[SteveH]

Sorry, I might have mislead you there.

You need to remove *.* from the <i>new document class</i> that you create for this type of file. *.* stays as part of the default class but does not get included in your document class.

Thank you,

it works now i had to delete the *.* from the new class plus delete the *. from the TEXT class... 8)
