@PJMonty: IDE request

Is it possible to add a color option to the IDE
for SXB conditional compile statements?
Example:
···· '{$.......}··· some other text
The bold part should get the conditional compile color.
That would improve sxb readability. Currently these
conditional compile statements appear in comment color.

As always, these sort of requests need to be driven past Parallax as they determine if they want to pay for upgrades to the IDE. However, the obvious answer is, "Yes, it is possible." However, I would have to look into how difficult this would be. Since all the conditional directives start with the comment character, I'm not sure (without exploring the IDE source code) if it would be hard or easy to have the editor determine the difference between a comment and a conditional.
Just to be clear, you would want the editor do look like this (assume the conditional color is red, comments are green, and keywords are bold):
'{$ifdef SX28}
fsr = fsr + 32 ' Update FSR
'{$endif}
I tired to put this within a
but doing so ignored all the color formatting. Pretend my example uses a non-proportional font.
Thanks,

Yes, that is exactly what I requested.
I assume you forward this request to Parallax.
If not, who do I contact for this request?
