Syntax highlighting is so useful, isn’t it? I think so, and I think you do too. So, I’m uploading a file so that you can enjoy the wonderful world of syntax highlighting for Mootools in Dreamweaver. Click here to download the Zip file.

This is what it looks like:

Of course you can change the colours to the what you’re used to.

Credits

Unfortunately, I can’t take all the credit for it’s wonderfulness. Portions of the file were taken from Nerd-core.org, which has been “under construction” for some time now and has left a void that I am now filling with this post. I’ve made my own updates, and added my Message Class plugin so that it highlights appropriately.

Also, I should thank Sramek Design for saving me from the tedious task of having to go research where the files should go. They did the work for me, and I simply copied those instructions. So thanks!
