[racket] How can I add new keywords (for syntax highlighting) to DrRacket ?
It's very, very simple.
When I type along in DrRacket, "cond" or "define" is highlighted
according to my Edit>Preferences (say, Blue in a bold font).
But "if" is not. Nor is "struct:" in typed/racket. And so on and
so forth... What the "keyword" might be is totally irrelevant as far
as I am concerned (really).
I surmise there *must* be a way to add keywords to some list
that are then "highlighted" by the DrRacket editor according to
the configuration of Edit>Preferences.
If not, this is an extraordinary foolish oversight. But I imagine
there is some configuration option that I have not yet discovered.
All real, authoritative knowledge on this issue greatly appreciated.
