Cheers Lex, that answers my question perfectly.
For what reason would Scintilla not separate escapes from strings? It seems like a useful feature.

Hi all,
New to Geany (and programming).
I would very much like to have escape sequences highlighted in a similar
way
to gedit. I've searched high and low for an explanation on how to achieve this and have come up empty. I'm sure it's very simple, however it's a mystery to me! I have attached a screenshot to visually explain what I
mean.
The reason you can't find how to do it is that it isn't possible. Scintilla (www.scintilla.org) is the editing component that does the lexing for the highlighting, and it doesn't separate escapes from strings.
To do it you would have to change the C++ code of the lexer in Scintilla
Cheers Lex
Also, I realise I'm not using the default color scheme. I have tested
with
the default color scheme and still don't have the highlighting I seek.
Unsure if it's pertinent but am using 0.20.
Many thanks,
Damon McMinn
