Text pad html tags not showing color

Post by andrew1234 »

Text pad doesn't show colors for the html tags like <html> <head> <br> and I saved the file as .html. Is there a preference I need to change it was working earlier then it stopped and I tried reinstalling still no luck. Any help would be great thanks.

In order to enable the syntax highlighting, you will need to implement the following procedure for each document class, as in the example below:

Click on:

1. Configure
2. Preferences
3. Plus sign next to Document Classes
4. Plus sign next to "HTML"
5. Syntax
6. Check the "Enable syntax highlighting" box.
7. Under the heading "Syntax definition file" Select
"html.syn".
8. Click Apply / OK

Please ensure that *.html is a member of the Files in class as follows:

1. Configure
2. Preferences
3. Plus sign next to Document Classes
4. HTML
5. Under the heading "Files in class", make sure that *.html is in the list. If it is not there, then you will need to add it to the list, along with any other file extensions that you are using for HTML files.
6.Click Apply / OK


I hope this helps.
