ConTEXT is a freeware text editor.

Using free ConTEXT customization files for Zillions that we have defined, scripts will be highlighted according to the ZRF syntax. ZSG files will also be highlighted.

---

To install the customization file into your installed copy of ConTEXT, do the following:

• Download ZillionsConTEXT.zip
• Unzip the files into the ConTEXT's highlighters directory.
  By default, this directory is C:\Program Files\ConTEXT\Highlighters
• Run/Restart ConTEXT.

Hitting F1 while editing a ZRF file in ConTEXT will bring up the Zillions Language Reference. This will work automatically if Zillions of Games is installed to the location

C:\Program Files\Zillions Development\Zillions of Games

If Zillions is installed in a different directory you can change the line beginning with "HelpFile" in ConTEXT\Highlighters\Zillions ZRF.chl to point to a different location.

Syntax colors can be customized to suit yourself by modifying ConTEXT\Highlighters\Zillions ZRF.chl, near the end. Highlight categories include reserved keywords, preprocessor commands, operators & control, numbers, comments, quotations, and symbols (parentheses).

ConTEXT has brace matching features that are very useful for editing rules files. If the text cursor is positioned directly before a parenthesis symbol -- '(' or ')' -- then:

• It and the matching parenthesis symbol will be darkened.
• Edit:Match Braces (Ctrl-M) will move the text cursor to the matching parenthesis symbol.
• Edit:Select Text Between Braces will select the text within the parentheses
