editing markdown file using scite

[wax90]

Hi All,

Does anybody use Scite for writing markdown format text files?

scite is my favorite editor but I was not able to find a properties file for markdown syntax highlighting.

Thank you!

Hi there, I ran into the same issue a few weeks ago. I think I found
that Scite has a lexer for Markdown, but no syntax highlighting. Here
is a quick properties file for syntax highlighting I made myself,
based on the built-in “txt2tags” properties file:

https://github.com/vadmium/etc/blob/master/scite/markdown.properties

It’s far from complete, so I’l be interested to hear of a more
complete solution. All the entries that I haven’t figured out are
coloured bright green (fore:#33FF00).

Thanks, man! That works very nicely. A happy marriage between my
favourite editor and my favourite markup language.

I tweaked it so that inline code (with backticks) stands out a little bit more:

# CODE
style.markdown.19=fore:#33AA33,bold
