Can anyone tell me where to find an instruction document on creating syntax highlighting (*.syn) files? I need to create one for a somewhat esoteric language.

I found this document:
http://www.aspectscripting.com/TextPad4 ... _v-1_0.doc
Within this main page:
http://www.aspectscripting.com/resources.shtml

It's Procomm stuff (I prefer WRQ Reflection) but it steps through creation with screenshots. May help? I've only applied them, never created them.

Available in TextPad Help.

Open TextPad/Help/Help Topics/Index
enter "syntax" without quotes.
Double click on syntax
Double click on "Syntax Definition Files"

Look at existing syntax files for examples.

Thank you, morteda and Bob. Both documents are very helpful.
