How to add syntax highlighting for new language?

[bprlhe]

The information on wiki is outdated: https://wiki.codelite.org/pmwiki.php/Ma ... ngNewLexer

What I see is only a big lexers.json file that contained syntax highlighting for all languages in all themes.

p/s: the language is not in lexilla.

If the language is not in lexilla, then you are left with custom coloring using wxSTC_LEX_CONTAINER -> the container should perform the coloring (similar to how CodeLite colors in the "find-in-files" tab)

So I will have to write C++ code? I don't know C++. If Settings -> Colours and Fonts... -> Customise colours per language has an add button so I could add my new language here and do everything via a graphical interface. Manually editing lexers.json is not a solution for me.
