[SOLVED] TSynEdit highlight special keyword

[AsleyCruz]

Hello, team

How can I add keywords to highlight any text within "[" and "]" on TSynEdit control?

Please, take a look at the attached image.
Thanks a lot

Any solution or idea, bros?

I just want to highlight the text within the brackets [test] as in the attached image.

The controls that I am using are SynEdit and SynAnySyn (this contains the keywords)

Thanks!

Possible direction:
 choose Main menu / Tools / Options / IDE Options (window) / Editor /Display / User defined markup and then at right panel - "Add list" (i.e. "My list 1")  and add "keywords" like [test], [anything], something, and so on ... . 
   
Colour for "keywords" is defined as Foreground and then you can have [test]

I cannot see possibility to use wildcards like [prefix*] or *suffix or prefix*suffix.

Somebody can try it some day. However this can be prone to errors - imagine keyword  "[ * ]"  and somewhere in the source single square bracket  "[" waiting to find "]" with thousands characters between.

Attention - a feature is rather at beta state, backup your Lazarus config first.

SynAnySyn is a very basic highlighter. Can be modified for suit your needs but it could be some complex to add new features.

I recommend to use https://github.com/t-edson/SynFacilSyn. It's a powerful highlighter and simple to use.
