Something I have become accustomed to in my Win32 text editor of choice (Homesite+) is customizing the syntax highlighting so that comments have a different (yellow) background color.
Is there an easy way to do this?

Aye there is, this is near the start of my PHP syntax file (I'd tell you how and why so but I only ever hacked around in those plist files so I'm better of copy/pasting ;-)
patterns = ( /* comments */ { name = "Comment"; begin = "/\*"; end = "\*/"; foregroundColor = "#FF00FF"; backgroundColor = "#FFFFDC"; },

I've been wanting to customize syntax highlighting aswell... but I don't really understand the syntax. (Proberbly regexp huh? Really need to learn more on that quickly!)
patterns = ( /* comments */ { name = "Comment"; begin = "/\*"; end = "\*/"; foregroundColor = "#FF00FF"; backgroundColor = "#FFFFDC"; },
begin="/\*" - What does the first forwardslash do?? The first backslash only escapes the following one?

It's part of the start "tag", i.e. /* starts a comment and */ ends it. The backslashes are doubled probably because the text goes through two different regexp parsers.

This matches "/*". For some reason everything in plist files has to be escaped twice, so that's why you need two 's before the *.

For a good, simple, to-the-point regular expressions guide, I like this one: http://www.contactor.se/~dast/mail2sms/regex.shtml
patterns = ( /* comments */ { name = "Comment"; begin = "/\*"; end = "\*/"; foregroundColor = "#FF00FF"; backgroundColor = "#FFFFDC"; },

Thanks!
It was a great regular expressions start.
