How do I turn on syntax highlighting/coloring in PyCharm?


Basically, for whatever reason PyCharm's syntax highlighting/coloring just isn't working; all of the text just appears as plain black. This is despite the fact that according to my editor settings, under IDE Settings -> Editor -> Colors & Fonts -> General the highlighting/coloring does appear to be turned on and defined correctly. Can anyone tell me how to turn this on correctly?


Solution

  • Checkout Settings | File Types. Probably the extension of file you need to be highlighted registered as Text file.
