I'm trying to get the SciTE lexers that come with the ConTeXt 
distribution working but I'm not having much luck. SciTE certainly 
processes the ConTeXt start-up script but never does any highlighting.

I always get the warning that lpeg is not loaded but I cannot find any 
separate lpeg.properties file or lpeg.lua file so I don't know how to 
get it imported and active to run the lexers. Any suggestions?

Interestingly, the lexers work just fine in Textadept but I haven't 
quite figured out how to get them to load automatically. I have to 
manually select the lexer but it works fine once I do.

I'm inclined to go the Textadept route and build a nice snippets file 
and Adeptsense support but I'd like to see things running in SciTE, too.

Right now I'm using Emacs to do my editing but AUCTeX does a poor job of 
supporting ConTeXt and when I asked about future plans on the AUCTeX 
mailing list, I got a snarky, sarcastic reply that "code doesn't change 
itself." Typical FSF attitude, I see. If I'm going to have to write my 
own support, Lua is much closer to the languages I've used before than 
elisp so it should be considerably easier.

Of course, I'll pass on anything I come up with to the ConTeXt community.
