Language

1.Enable color syntax highlighting - This option enables the text of your code to be colored based on the syntax of the language in use. Multiple documents of different languages may be opened at the same time, and as long as this setting is enabled, they will each highlight based on their own individual language. This option is enabled by default.  
2.Fix case for language keywords - This option changes the case of keywords that you type based on the specification of the language in use. For example, C/C++ is a case sensitive language so when you type "INT" and press enter, Text Hawk Text Editor will convert this to "int" for you on the fly. This option is disabled by default.  
3.Default language - This option dictates which language will be used for new documents. The language set by this option is overridden (based on the file extension used) when the file is initially saved. For example, if the default language is set to C/C++ when you create a new document, the color syntax highlighting of this document will be based on C/C++. When you save the document, however, the language used will be dictated by the file's extension. So if you save it as a Java file, the color syntax highlighting will be based on Java. Likewise, when you open a file from disk the language used will be determined by the file's extension, not the Default Language. The default language selection defaults to "[NONE]", which means that all new documents created will contain no color syntax highlighting until you set this option.
