Hi.
I like Geany and have been tweaking a few of the syntax highlight settings to my liking. One thing I've not figured out is how I might highlight a line that begins with 'dnl' similar to a shell comment but with another color, if possible.
I understand that .m4 and configure.ac filetypes are part of the .sh type which is fine. I suppose that 'dnl' could be considered a keyword but I would rather the entire line be highlighted.
Thanks!

No ideas on this? I've tried various things based on what I've found in the various filetypes.* files, but the only thing that I could seem to do is highlight 'dnl' as a keyword, but I'd like it to be treated as a comment line so geany doesn't try to parse the line for backticks and quotes.
Is this something that should be a wishlist bug?

I see that Colomban has opened a feature request against Scintilla for m4 and 'dnl'. This is probably the best way to go. I'll keep an eye on it and see what comes of it.

Hi,
I *think* it's a Scintilla issue, not changeable from Geany itself, but I could be wrong though, as I've proven numerous times :)
