Maybe I'm missing something -- I write PHP files with HTML sections - and often CSS <style> sections in HTML. I can't figure out how to get true multi-language highlighting working. Does anyone else have this working?

If I choose HTML as the document type, I can style some PHP elements - but CSS in particular is just standard foreground-on-background...

Otherwise, this looks like a replacement for PSPad, which is my current choice.

Well, further research and messing around: It looks like multiple-language highlighting (a single document with HTML, PHP, and CSS) is not really available.

I looked in the forum to try and see if I could figure out how to maybe add it myself - but I see a whole lot of posts looking for help with no answers - and I didn't find anything that helps me figure out how to get started maybe adding this functionality.

I poked around in the various files included with the program, and I don't see where the definitions are... Meh.

It's a pity - this looks fantastic, but it won't work for me.
