Hi Guys If you are like me and love EditPlus for all text editing and coding, perhaps you might prefer to write your Ignition scripts using EditPlus and have all the syntax highlighting ready for Ignition. Well, Here I’m attaching the Syntax file. I modified a Python syntax file made by Peter Anderson an added all Ignition-specific functions and constants. I hope you may find it useful.
