About syntax styles

CotEditor's syntax styles control syntax coloring, Outline Menu, and the completion list, all together. To customize styles:

  1. Choose CotEditor > Preferences.
  2. Select Format.
  3. Select the style you want to customize from the installed syntax styles list.
  4. Double-click the style name or press Edit button.

To use an existing style as a guide for creating your own, select Duplicate in the action button (gear icon) instead.
