More options to customize the color coding in Text Editor

[Bendis]

I would like to have more options and flexibility for the Text Editors color coding (in "Preferences>Text Editor>Colors").

Some suggestions:

- Color coding for HTML class attributes and <link> (highlighting with a background color)

- Color coding for the <img> tag, <form>, <a> and <input> tag. Especially the option to highlight the <img> would make it much easier to find images in the code

- Color coding option for <table> tag

I agree, especially for the table tags!

I'm concerned that this could make the code too colorful.

What do others think?

Karlis, I agree on need for more granularity with color options. "Too Colorful" is not a problem, it is a help... I would particularly like to see additional color options for PHP, ( different colors for different comment types, for instance, and different colors for different operators.) As for being "Too Colorful", you could set defaults for future items to black, and let users change at will. Thanks for a great product, and great support. Scot

P.S. I just noticed that PHP vars inside of quotes in assignments inherit the color of the quoted text.:

$text = "Look, Ma, I wrote a file!\n" ;

...

if (fwrite)
{
echo "Wrote: $text ";
}

It would be nice if the vars maintained the color assigned to vars: vis:

$text = "Look, Ma, I wrote a file!\n" ;

...

if (fwrite)
{
echo "Wrote: $text ";
}

I absolutely agree with Scott - I would like to have more options to adjust my personal coding style.
You don't have to change the default colors.

Thank you for your suggestions!

Yes, extended color coding would be VERY helpful!
