Editor user interface

Syntax highlighting
syntax highlighting shows the code in different colors.  Comments are one color, strings another, RPL a third and so on.

 

Displaying code in colors helps to see the program structure, eases the reading effort, and reduces errors. The highlighting can be modified using the editor's menu View / Editor Options and selecting the Highlighter tab.

The Attribute box selects the type of code: ASM, RPL, RPL String etc.  The ASM KEY and RPL KEY attributes will also show a list of keywords which are interpreted as belonging to those keys.  The user may add or remove items from the key lists to change the way the highlighter works.

Foreground Color, Background Color and Style can be changed to modify the appearance of text.  For example, you may find it more convenient to have bold or italic, red RPL KEYS!
