I threw together a syntax file for use with EditPlus (on the odd chance that someone might be using it :mrgreen: ), but it might also provide a base for other text editors. This just helps the editor add color highlighting based on BRS syntax. It mostly just looks pretty, but I find it helpful.
I've taken a few liberties for my own preferences. Adjust as needed.

If you are adding this for use with EditPlus for Windows, then do the following:
- Copy the code above
- Create a new text file, and paste in code.
- Save the file as "brs.stx"
- In EditPlus, select Document-> Permanent Settings...
- Then navigate to Files->Syntax and settings
- Add a new file type of ".brs"
- Click the "..." next to the "Syntax file:" field
- Select the "brs.stx" file you saved
- Click "Apply"
- Click "OK", and restart EditPlus.
Any file with a .brs extension will be formatted. Enjoy the pretty colors.
😛 Cheers.
