How to create a custom lexer?
Edited by Samuel Deboni Fraga on Reason: Initial post
I'm new to the 4coder customization layer, and I'm trying do add support for the zig programming language.

How can I create a custom lexer? and use it to have syntax highlighting on zig files.

How to create a custom lexer?
If you only want basic syntax highlighting you can do something like "Adding keywords to the syntax highlighting" from the wiki (using the draw_string_highlights method).

If you really want a lexer, you'd better ask Allen on the 4coder discord or by e-mail. To my knowledge it's kind of hard to do in the current version, but I've never tried it.
