No Hightlighting at all, except numbers

Itsme · Nov 30, 2005#12005-11-30T21:08+00:00

Let us take HTML for example, there is for me in UltraEdit 11 no highlighting at all, except numbers in red. As they should. The rest is all black, even though i have switched in View/View As on Language 3 (HTML). Before i did that, UltraEdit did not even recognize the numbers, "No Highlighting".

Whats wrong?

Either your wordfile is corrupt or the ini file (or registry) with your color settings.

Check your color settings at Advanced - Configuration - Editor Display - Syntax Highlighting for all languages and all color groups. Check also the path to the wordfile and the wordfile itself.

Have you modified your wordfile (standard is wordfile.txt)?

Backup it and reinstall UltraEdit to get the correct standard wordfile. All your settings will not be changed during reinstallation except the wordfile and the taglist file.

I have the exact same situation.
I deinstalled ultraedit
Downloaded current version from idm.
reinstalled the whole thing and still no highlighting.

On Advanced - Configuration - Editor Display
I don't have Editor Display showing up under configration.
Has anyone got some more suggestions.

Hurrah!
I finally have gotten it to highlight html code.
On Advanced - Configuration - Editor Display :
First enter Advance and if you are running under XP set the flag for XP.
This lets you see the SYNTAX Highlighting option on Editor Display.
Browse and change the J:UltraEdit-32\wordfile.txt to the right location.
Lolla! Html and etc are highlighted.

The problem you couldn't see the syntax Highlighting option without setting the flag
for Xp under
On Advanced - Configuration - Editor Display :Advance

I did not know that the activated Clear Type function of XP also makes problems at the configuration dialog. I have never activated the ClearType function and maybe this only happens, when the user uses a "crazy" windows desktop theme with a "crazy" system font.

webnerd:
Could you post exactly which windows desktop theme settings do you have? Save your windows desktop theme settings and open the *.theme file with UltraEdit and post the content here. I think, the theme file is an ASCII file (I'm currently on a Win98 PC).

Note: If your configuration dialogs of UltraEdit are animated and this makes problems, turn this animation off at Advanced - Configuration - Application Layout - Miscellaneous - last option: Animate Configuration Dialogs.
