For the most part you should probable leave them (or, if you don't like it highlighting them, you can simply delete what's in them (so that they look like the 'Folder+'/'Folder-' lines). However, operators and delimiters require a little more care. One trick you might want to try is, if you have some important variables or other keywords you want highlighted, to list them in the forth keywords list (but remember to change the color it highlights them, see style below). The keywords themselves are easy enough to figure out (simply leave a space and write in the new words to add to the list). There are also lines for 'Comment' (the *comment command), 'Operators' (a number of symbols used in CS, such as parentheses, the equals sign, and exclamation points) and 'Delimiters' (Which are quotation marks).

There are four possible lists of keywords, three of which are used to begin with. The only one that people may have different opinions on are caseIgnored, which some people may wish to change to 'no' to force the highlighter to only highlight things that have the same case. Most of the settings will not make a large difference if changed, and should probably be left as they are. There are three categories that every part of the highlighter falls into: Settings, Keywords and Style. This will cover editing the syntax highlighter in Notepad++. The Syntax Highlighter is short and easily modified by going to Language > Define your language and selecting choicescript in the User language menu at the top of the new window. Select it and and your code should automatically be highlighted.

Open Notepad++ once again, go back to the language menu, and at the bottom between 'Define your language' and 'User-Defined' you should find ' choicescript'.Above the import button, click on the drop-down ' User Define Language' field and select choicescript.A pop up should now confirm the import was successful.

Click the import button and navigate to the location where you downloaded the choicescript.xml file (usually it will be in your downloads folder).

Click on the ' language' drop-down menu and select ' Define your language' and a new window will open.

After downloading the choicescript.xml file, follow the steps described below.
