PHP definitions are ruled in *filetypes.html*, because inside *filetypes.php* is almost nothing but record to see *filetypes.html.*

OK. I went to *filetypes.html*. There are groups of definitions which start from *html_*, *sgml_*, *php_*, *jscript_*, *python_*

I changed the settings which start from *php_* and indeed my php scripts now look different. *

Then I changed the settings which start from *python_* but nothing changed in my python scripts. And then I realized that maybe there is another file for python, and indeed the definitions for python are in *filetypes.python*. And changes there reflect my highlighting of python script. I also must say that there is no record in *filetypes.python* to go to *filetypes.html*. So, it is like independent file for settings.

1. Why there is a group of settings *python_* in *filetypes.html*, if

they do nothing?

They do something, they define mapping for python embedded in HTML (just like PHP).

2. Why there are groups of settings for different languages in one file?

It confuses a lot.

Well... it's related on how Scintilla deals with embedded syntax (PHP in HTML, javascript in HTML, etc). Instead of using the styles of another filetype, it uses specific styles. This is far from perfection but I'm afraid we can't do much.

This said, why did you want to edit filetypes.html/python? If you want to change the colors, with 1.22 you can now easily write a colorsheme file, look e.g. at the alt.conf scheme distributed with Geany (most probably /usr/share/geany/colorschemes/alt.conf on Linux). This way you won't have to bother what's in filetypes.* for the colors, and they will apply to all filtypes.

Hope it helps, Colomban
