Highlighting Syntax in Sublime Text 3

Sublime Text 3 is a great text editor for coding in multiple languages. It allows you to quickly highlight syntax so you can easily read and understand your code. Here is an example of how to do it:

First, open the "View" menu and select "Syntax" to open the syntax selection palette. Then, choose the language of your code. You can select from a wide range of languages including PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and more.

Next, you can customize the color scheme for the language you are working with. To do this, open the "Preferences" menu and select "Color Scheme". From here, you can choose from a selection of different color schemes that are pre-defined for the language you have chosen.

Once you have chosen a color scheme, you can further customize the syntax highlighting by selecting "Preferences" then "Settings - Syntax Specific" from the menu. Here, you can add custom settings for your language. For example, if you are coding in JavaScript, you can set the color for a specific keyword or string.

var string = "This is a string";

By setting the color of "string" to a different color, you can easily see it when looking through your code. This helps make your code easier to read and understand.

Finally, you can save your settings as a color scheme so you can use it again in the future. To do this, open the "Preferences" menu and select "Color Scheme" again. Then, click the "Save As" button and give your color scheme a name. Your new color scheme will now be available from the syntax selection palette.

Using the syntax highlighting feature in Sublime Text 3 is a great way to make your code easier to read and understand. With just a few clicks, you can customize the color scheme for any language you are coding in.
