#7 Get/Set program language syntax

[Miguel Guerreiro]

Hi there,

Is there any way to know what program language syntax is being used on the editor?
After i change the syntax language from the combobox, i need to get that value. If it is xml, html, css, vb, etc..

Is there any function to get that value?
And can i set language from a function to? Instead of using the combo from the editor?

Thx in advanced :)

Hi,

You can set the syntax highlighting for a given language by running:

editAreaLoader.execCommand(editor_id,"change_syntax",language);

For example, assuming your textarea's ID is "editorTextArea" and you want to syntax highlighting for "css":

editAreaLoader.execCommand("editorTextArea","change_syntax","css");
