Is the [1] in "instead of JavaScript[1]" significant?

I changed filetypes.JSON.conf to:

     [styling=C]
     default=default
     number=number
     string=string
     word=word
     identifier=identifier,bold

     [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=0

Syntax 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.

Highlighting of matching '[' and '{' braces works fine after rebooting 
my PC.

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.

Is there any way of customizing this without launching a new career?

How do I do that?
