Below screen shot summaries the how it looks and color represents

Syntax highlighting also works with .resource files. Overall, this is a valuable plugin. However, if you include some regexp code, it breaks highlighting after the regexp is defined:

Note: I am aware that the Keywords section is duplicated. This is not actual code to be run, it is only to illustrate the broken highlighting after the regular expression is defined.

Here is the robot file if anyone wants to try this out for themselves:
