Hello everyone
I have questions about SynFacil
1- how to create multicolor syntax highlighting using XML

use style 1 for some keywords and style 2 for other keywords
(style : color , background ...)

2- how to define the code folding settings in XML

Hi.

1- how to create multicolor syntax highlighting using XML
exemple :
use style 1 for some keywords and style 2 for other keywords
(style : color , background ...)

You can define any number of new attributes:

Code: XML  [Select][+][-]

1.  
2.   <Attribute Name="Keyword1"   ForeCol="#00A4F2" Bold="false"  Italic="False" Underline="False"/>
3.   <Attribute Name="Keyword2"   ForeCol="Purple" Bold="false"  Italic="False" Underline="False"/>
4.  

Then you can define words for them:

Code: XML  [Select][+][-]

1.  
2. <Keyword1>EDIT STORE RECALL TRON TROFF PLOT LORES DOKE
3.         LLIST LPRINT DATA DEEK LOG LEN STR$ VAL ASC CHR$ PI
4.         TRUE FALSE KEY$ SCRN POINT LEFT$ RIGHT$ MID$
5.   </Keyword1>
6.   <Keyword2> END POP PULL
7.         ON TO IF ELSE THEN STEP STOP
8.   </Keyword2>
9.  

2- how to define the code folding settings in XML

Folding are implemented using blocks. Blocks are defined with delimiters:

Code: XML  [Select][+][-]

1.   <Block Start="Begin" End="End" Folding="True">
2.   </Block>
3.  

p.s. The docs available in github repo were only in spanish and I don t understand spanish

There is an english translation of de Technical documentation in the GitHub repo. Probably no the best translation but it's a translation.

thnx Edson
I have another questions if you dont mind
1- does synfacil highlight brace and parenthesis and symbols like dollar and others (if they are included in the keyword like in PHP or in Javascript)
2- does it support hyphened and diaphracted words (like é è ñ ...)

3- why there is two units (synfacil    and synbasic) instead of one unit

1- does synfacil highlight brace and parenthesis and symbols like dollar and others (if they are included in the keyword like in PHP or in Javascript)

I'm not sure I understand the question. 
Only "Spaces" and "Line endings" are fixed (relativity) in SynFacilSyn. All other kinds of tokens can be set to any attribute. You can define "$" as keyword, or "(" as a number or whatever.

thnx Edson
2- does it support hyphened and diaphracted words (like é è ñ ...)

The UTF-8 codepage C3, that contains á, é, í, ó, ú, ñ, Ñ, ...  can be included (moreless accurate) in the identifiers definition. Check the section 4.5.1 of the documentation.

3- why there is two units (synfacil    and synbasic) instead of one unit

By modularity.
The old versions included just one unit.
