Starting with moyac's great concept of adding JASS syntax highlighting, I've started a bit of a project.
I downloaded Notepad++ with the Jass-interpreter addons, and the first thing I did was update the color schemes (as the old Jass highlighting looks abominable). The updated color codes/styles are perfectly identical to the ones seen on this forum/ the ones you work with in NewGen.
As I've been working on my own scripts, I've been adding BJ functions and unlisted native functions as I go along (as the language file contained no BJ functions). I've also been listing the blizzard-created variables declared in common.j and blizzard.j
Big problem is that you can only highlight four categories of keywords, and I need more than that.
Cat 1 is red for BJ functions
Cat 2 is purple for native functions
Cat 3 is teal for types like
Cat 4 is black-bold for main words like
I've been storing a lot of key words in Cat 3 that have similar colors (
Is there a way to expand the list of categories from the limit of four? I've given up on the idea that you can add vJass gray text
This is what it looks like so far (yeah it's nice, works great, but I want to be able to add just one more type):

true false null) and, since the color is identical (though the bold-style is a problem) the Blizzard variables have been put here, too.Is there a way to expand the list of categories from the limit of four? I've given up on the idea that you can add vJass gray text
.like_this .and_or .like_this because if I use "." as an indicator everything after that gets highlighted gray as well. Lol...This is what it looks like so far (yeah it's nice, works great, but I want to be able to add just one more type):
