I am worried that this is a question with an obvious answer, but I have searched, read, and tested and I am still confused.
I have a set of text files I use for organizing my life. Lately, after too long, I have started including some special syntax highlighting to help me. So my questions do not regard any programming language.
What I would like to be able to do is to define a set of special characters (| + = *, etc.) and then also matching characters ({}, [], etc.) and be able to define them all as having different Color Groups. The colors should apply to any text between the special characters or brackets, or in other cases to the end of the line (like a line comment).
So far I seem to only be able to accomplish some of this. For instance, in the GUI I can set a Color Group for Alternate Block Comments, but not for just plain Block Comments. I want to have a different set of colors for each special character.
Is this possible?
