I would first like to apologive if this has been dealt with before. I tried looking around, but apparently in all the wrong places.

Well, I would like to know where I can get a quick primer on how to create my own syntax definition. I already looked at the ones I have on my computer, but I wasn't sure of all of the fields, as well as how many keywords there are, and which colors represent which keywords, etc. etc.

Thank you all for your help in advance

It worked for perl to me.

Hi,

Does anyone know where I could find a syntax definition file that will properly highlight instant message type log file?

Stelly: Hi how are you
Ross: Good, and you?
Stelly: not too bad
Ross: time for lunch?

It would be nice to highlight each person's message in a different color. Or
even just the names, Stelly and Ross, in different colors.

Thank you very much!

Stelly
