RESOLVED: hiliting color values: comment and question

I recently was editing a Thunderbird css file, and discovered that RJTE actually hilites the color codes in their color!!
That was amazing, and *really* handy when I was experimenting with codes; much easier than pulling up a color dialog every time...
However, in my html code, it does *not* hilite these these codes, even if they are in css declarations;
It would be really cool to have this in html as well...
examples:
Code: Select all
.DarkHeader {
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
background-color: #F5DEB3;
color: #2060A0;
font-size: 105%;
}

so... nobody has any insights into this at all??
*should* I expect html files to handle color codes the same as css files do?? seems logical to me...
???

It should work if you use style tags or a style attribute.

Sadly, it doesn't work for me, either.
I have monkeyed with Environment > Themes > Customize > HTML > Hint color 1 and for once I got color highlighting, but when I switched it off and on to confirm it worked, it didn't
Yes, I understand it probably doesn't have anything to do with highlighting color values...

Well, here is what I have, on my snippets page:
But *none* of the color fields show up in those colors, even though .css files work fine...

Please check the options in "View / Highlight color values / File types". Make sure "HTML" is set.

Hah!! I was looking in Options dialog; I didn't even *think* to look at other menus entirely!!
Okay, problem solved now... (although, I'll admit that this solution really seems like something that *should* be in Options dialog...)

Actually, I though so too when I tried to find the option myself
I'll add it to the option dialog in the next version...
