Thank you! Is that json format of some other tool / something generic where other languages can be fetched from?
Or where did you get those from?

I referred to these projects for Markor's current JSON syntax highlighting configuration files.

Their syntax highlighting definitions are advanced and sophisticated, I don't know how to directly use these files, so I just reused some basic regex from these files, such as keywords, variable, string, number, function and comment ...

By the way, I found many text editors use TextMate grammars to highlight. Maybe we can use TextMate grammars for Markor, and if use it, we can directly use these syntax highlighting configuration files.

If you feel any is somewhat similar to whats feasible for Markor, feel free to rearrange the json/definition structure.

I asked also because saw the keyword list and what came to my mind were Geany filedefs (https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/master/data/filedefs/filetypes.java)
