## 8.52 Syntax Coloring

Syntax Color Break Euphoria statements into words with multiple colors. The editor and pretty printer (eprint.ex) both use this file.

### 8.52.1 Routines

#### 8.52.1.1 set_colors

    include euphoria/syncolor.e
    namespace syncolor
    public procedure set_colors(sequence pColorList)

#### 8.52.1.2 init_class

    include euphoria/syncolor.e
    namespace syncolor
    public procedure init_class()

#### 8.52.1.3 new

    include euphoria/syncolor.e
    namespace syncolor
    public function new()

##### See Also:

reset, SyntaxColor

#### 8.52.1.4 reset

    include euphoria/syncolor.e
    namespace syncolor
    public procedure reset(atom state = g_state)

#### 8.52.1.5 keep_newlines

    include euphoria/syncolor.e
    namespace syncolor
    public procedure keep_newlines(integer val = 1, atom state = g_state)

#### 8.52.1.6 SyntaxColor

    include euphoria/syncolor.e
    namespace syncolor
    public function SyntaxColor(sequence pline, atom state = g_state, multiline_token multi = 0)

Parse Euphoria code into tokens of like colors.

##### Parameters:

1. `pline` the source code to color
2. `state` (default g_state) the tokenizer to use
3. `multi` the multiline token from the previous line

Break up a new-line terminated line into colored text segments identifying the various parts of the Euphoria language. They are broken into separate tokens.

##### Returns:

##### A sequence that looks like:

    {color1, "text1"}, {color2, "text2"}, ... }

##### Comments:

In order to properly color multiline syntax (strings and comments), you should pass a value for `multi`. This value can be attained by calling `last_multiline_token` after coloring the previous line.
