 In UltraEdit, syntax highlighting for different coding languages is defined in plain text configuration files called '''wordfiles''' (.uew files). Wordfiles contain a set of definitions and rules for the associated language (as well as configurations for brace matching, code folding, function listing, etc.). UltraEdit applies the highlighting in wordfiles based upon file name or extension, or in some cases by identifying a "shebang" line at the top of a file. UltraEdit comes with several pre-defined wordfiles for the most popular and common coding languages, however you can add (or create) many more.
-Because wordfiles are self-contained in a plain text file with an human readable syntax, they are very easy to modify. You can open and modify wordfiles by going to [[Editor display:Syntax highlighting|Editor Display &raquo; Syntax Highlighting]] in Settings. Select a wordfile from the drop down list and click the '''Open''' button to open it in the editor. You can also see and change (if desired) the folder containing wordfiles that UltraEdit uses for syntax highlighting.

	Syntax highlighting refers to the ability to recognize predefined words or patterns of text and display these in different colors or font styles. This is particularly useful for coding and can also be useful for general text editing where you want certain words in a file to display in a different color.
