To configure the Editor for your programming language

When you open a source file that has a language-specific extension, the Editor automatically configures itself to work with that programming language. For example, if you open a file foo.c, the Editor uses /* */ whenever you insert a comment block. The Editor also displays elements in your code in different colors based on the specified language.

If you need to manually specify your programming language because the Editor does not recognize a file extension:

  1. Open the source file.
  2. Choose View > Language, then select the programming language used in the source file.
