Gedit high lighting

I use cimco edit at work every day and like its high lighting. I have gedit set for ngc but is there a setting to high light code like cimco edit. X Y Z G M F codes different colors.

Thanks
Tim

I am pretty sure you can do that. I haven't been using Gedit for a while, and I do not remember how to set it up. A quick google search for "highlighting Gedit" should quickly get you an answer.

I havent tried it...

Thanks guys, I dont know much about this. I read late into the night trying to get my head around this.
The one thing Im not sure of is what part determines the color. This is from ngc.lang M is green.

<style _name="M-word" id="m_word" map-to="def:type"/>
<style _name="M-word (user)" id="m_word_u" map-to="def:type"/>


<context id="m" style-ref="m_word_u">
<match>m[\s\t]*1[\s\t]*[\d][\s\t]*[\d]</match>
</context>

I take it this is color [\s\t]*1[\s\t]*[\d][\s\t]*[\d]

<context id="m1" style-ref="m_word">
<match>m[\s\t]*[\d]+[\s\t]*[\d]?</match>
</context>

<context id="m2" style-ref="m_word">
<match>m</match>
</context>

The coding is alot different on other .lang files than ngc.lang
such as lex, ruby, modelica
