This project provides files allowing NWScript syntax highlighting with 3 free and open source programs: Highlight, Geany and Highlight.js. All these programs are available on multiple platforms and can use many available color themes. This project also works with NWN2 NWScript source code files.
See readme file inside project's archive for more information and installation instruction.
CHANGELOG
1.1 (2019-11-29)
- Added Highlight.js support (lexer and theme).
- Changed Highlight lexer and theme to emphasize with bold style only built-in function names instead of all function names (also applies to Highlight.js).
- Changed Highlight lexer and theme to emphasize built-in constants with italic style (also applies to Highlight.js).
- Simplified installation process and instructions.
1.0 (2019-11-22)
- Initial release.
THANKS
- To kevL's, for help on NWN2, Highlight GUI, screenshots and fruitful discussion.

This isn't really a tool per se, but it works with actual tools, and I couldn't find a better category for it.
Have fun sharing your NWScript code.
This project has been updated. Notice the ten-fold increase in file size caused by inclusion of built-in functions and constants in every language definition.
Now the installation process is even easier.
I forgot to add a small detail to Geany's installation instruction:
Tools -> Configuration Files -> filetype_extensions.confNWScript=*.nss;*.NSSProgramming=NWScript(if you already have a Programming entry, append this:
;NWScript)If you don't do this, NWScript files won't be automatically recognized by the editor and you won't be able to manually select the file type from the menu.
This detail will be included in next version of the project.
