writing macros

[guy conner]

I'm getting back into macros after quite a few years not using 12d, but i'm only on the practice version for the moment.

What text editor do you guys use for macro writing? I'm happy enough with ConTEXT but I was wondering if anyone had a highlighter file for 4dml? one that shows different coloured text for reserved words and variables etc. it's much easier than writing using just black text. thanks

I use codeblocks it has standard c++highlighter that works well

I use Code::Blocks, too.

Check out this post re: syntax highlighting:

Can't remember if that's up-to-date. Also, you can use the prototypes.h generated from the cppp.exe (see post linked above) to do code completion.

I use notepad++
There has been some posts somewhere for the configuration of notepad++
I'll look for it and post back.

thx guys, I've found a few things. I can't see other forum threads though, so if you could paste a link to the file that'd be great. if not, no worries either
