Syntax Highlighting


Syntax highlighting improves readability and makes debugging procedures easier. This color-coded highlighting is applied to the source code for WebFOCUS procedures to distinguish keywords, comments, functions, arithmetic and logical operators, constants, and quoted strings.

Highlighting is supported for HTML, JavaScript, CSS, R, Python, and SQL files.

The following image is an example of highlighting in a WebFOCUS procedure (FOCEXEC) that is opened in the Editor.
