The following options are available:

•Set embedded language color - When this option is selected, you can define the colors for source code (for example, JavaScript embedded in an HTML file). For HTML, the syntax color-coding recog- nizes the <script language="???"> tag and uses embedded language colors for the new language. In addition, for Perl and UNIX shell scripts, you can prefix your HERE document terminator with one of the color-coding lexer names to get embedded language color-coding. For an example, see Setting Colors for Screen Elements

•Screen element - Select the screen element before changing the Foreground and Background col- ors. Most of the screen element items are obvious except for those in the following list:

• Window Text - This is the color of other text which is not a specific syntax element.
