Is there a way to configure syntax coloring in BBEdit 11 to effectively modify the CSS settings that are built into BBEdit? I'd like to add additional language keywords to the list that is built into BBEdit [i.e. add rem units] and change left/right from 'Predefined symbols' to 'language keywords' and add block/inline/both etc. as additional language keywords. I did RTM [had to d/l from the website as the built-in link kept timing out] but am none the wiser if this is possible.
Thanks
Dave

Wait, what? BBEdit 11?

I guess it’s time to go hit the archives.

(I knew BBE11 wouldn’t be in the App Store thanks to the twitter drizzle about the kerfuffle in Seattle (I think it was Seattle), but I didn’t know it was imminent)

While I think it's always drizzling in Seattle, I believe the particular drizzle to which you refer precipitated in Quebec.

The solution [thanks to sup...@barebones.com] is to save a 'your_name_here.css' file in the "Custom Keywords" subfolder of BBEdit's app support folder [see p 32 of the manual]. This file shouldn't be a css file - it should be a *list* of words that you want coloured as keywords. Then restart BBEdit.

Those of you using javascript [etc.] would save a 'your_name_here.js' file.

PS: nice new icon too.
