custom text editor

hey! can anyone suggest a text editor with customizable syntax highlighting (like textwrangler for MAC os x)?

thanks!

What OS, or do you want one that is cross platform? Are IDEs excluded?

oh, sorry - it's windows and IDEs are OK, I guess. But as lightweight as possible.

On Windows, I use TextPad. It works pretty nicely, and there are a number of syntax files you can download for free, for some of the more popular "languages."

but that should mean that one can also create his own syntax highliting "plugins", right?

Yep. Actually, you just need to create a text file, with the extension '.syn'. It's formatted like an old INI file. I've done this for many of the data files I work with here.
