Support for HTML - Syntax highlighting

A big help when creating HTML documents is syntax highlighting. Spider has a number of HTML syntax coloring schemes. The most important of these are:

  • Dynamic HTML - extensive coloring of HTML, CSS and JavaScript and VBScript scripting languages,
  • HTML Categorized - categorized HTML coloring. Individual groups of tags (according to the HTML 4.01 specification) are marked with different colors, which is a great help in orientation in the page layout,
  • HTML Validator - a special HTML syntax coloring scheme, highlighting the most common HTML syntax errors,
  • Dynamic XHTML - Extensive coloring of XHTML, CSS, and the JavaScript and VBScript scripting languages,
  • XHTML - coloring of HTML's successor - XHTML.

In addition, HTML coloring schemes combined with coloring of other languages are also available:

  • HTML+ASP
  • HTML+ColdFusion
  • HTML+CSS
  • HTML+JavaScript
  • HTML+PHP simple
  • HTML+PHP extended
  • HTML+VBScript
  • Perl+HTML

You can also customize syntax highlighting. Use these tools for that:

  • Highlighting scheme editor - allows you to edit the highlighting scheme, i.e. add new features, etc. Use it with caution when changes cannot be undone
  • Program settings - syntax highlighting - allows you to adjust the syntax highlighting scheme, but without affecting the scheme itself. Changes can be reverted to the default state at any time. You can also use this window to assign file name extensions for which the scheme should be the default one.
