how to manually change syntax highlighting from menu
Submitted by masuch on Monday, 13 February, 2012 - 01:05
Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to change manually syntax highlighting to get immediate syntax colouring changes (no reload , no restart).
(This behaviour has notepad++, kate, gedit and many other editors.).
Does exist any plugin/s ?
How to do it ?
For instance it would be useful if I have mix of different programming languages in one file or if I need to quickly change syntax highlighting.

Thank you for any kind of help.
Regards,
Martin

Hi,
syntax highlighting in jEdit is directly bound to the current "edit mode".

See User's Guide for info how the edit mode is set automatically and can be changed manually.
