Someone changed my wiki entry so the filetype is YAML instead of JavaScript[1]. Set it back to JavaScript and set the `[styling]` section back to `[styling=C]`, removing the partial set of styles added in that change and highlighting should work perfect (after all, isn't JSON valid JavaScript syntax?). You can check "Old Revisions" on the wiki to see the original entry and the additions later on.
Is the [1] in "instead of JavaScript[1]" significant?
Scroll down to the bottom of my email.
I changed filetypes.JSON.conf to:
[styling=C] default=default number=number string=string word=word identifier=identifier,bold
Delete everything after [styling=C] there (from "default" to "identifier" keys).
[keywords] primary=true false null [settings] extension=json lexer_filetype=Javascript comment_single=# comment_use_indent=true [indentation] width=2 # 0 is spaces, 1 is tabs, 2 is tab & spaces type=0Syntax highlighting is still not so colourful: Names are bold black and values are normal black unless they are numbers, in which case they are green.
Because you left YAML styles above maybe (under [styling=C]).
Highlighting of matching '[' and '{' braces works fine after rebooting my PC.
Should never need to reboot PC for anything with Geany, but often making changes to configuration files requires restarting all Geany instances.
Setting the filetype to Javascript (Document -> Set Filetype -> Scripting Languages -> Javascript) results in a more colourful display, but without any differentiation between names and values.
It highlights it the same as JavaScript. I don't know what names and values are in this context, but it highlights quoted "strings" the same no matter where they appear, as far as I know.
Is there any way of customizing this without launching a new career?
Depends how much of the manual you read :)
Please update the wiki if you find it's incorrect.
How do I do that?
Create a login, login, and click "Edit" or whatever it's labeled on the page you want to edit. Pretty much same as any wiki.
