Currently there is no syntax coloring differentiation between normal text (identifiers) and functions. By adding support for differentiating between normal text and functions it can be much, much easier to quickly read through code by picking out what are function/method/macro calls. Consider the following example to illustrate this feature. By changing the color between functions and normal variables I can read through this code much more quickly by picking out the most important parts at a glance. Without this it requires a much greater effort to decipher unfamiliar code. http://3dfolio.com/files/syntax_no_var_color.png http://3dfolio.com/files/syntax_with_var_color.png
Created attachment 89669 [details] Syntax with standard identifier coloring
Created attachment 89670 [details] Syntax with additional function coloring
What sort of code is in the examples - java, C/C++, something else?
The code in the example is for C++. But the syntax requirements should be the same for Java.
