We can customize the color of line if it is end with specific character. It can be achieved by setting the lexem in custom config file.

                         

Lexem: It contains rules for parsing the text. There are two attributes to specify the format of the lexem.

 

  • Type: Type is used for standard predefined types of the lexems.
  • FormatName: The FormatName is used only when Type is Custom.

 

Here we have highlighted the line if end with “!” character. The following code demonstrates the same.

 

Code Example: [XML]

 

<!-- Configuaration -->

 

<ConfigLanguage name="new" CaseInsensitive="true">

 

<formats>

 

<!-- Highlight color -->

 

<format name="String" Font="Courier New, 13pt, style=Bold" FontColor="Green" />

 

</formats>

 

<extensions>

 

<extension>new</extension>

 

</extensions>

 

<lexems>

 

<!-- Set the Required Highlight format -->

 

<lexem BeginBlock="[A-z\s]+\!" IsBeginRegex="true"  Type="String"/>

 

</lexems>

 

<splits>

 

<split IsRegex="true">[A-z\s]+\!</split>

 

</splits>

 

</ConfigLanguage>

 

 

Code Example: [C#]
