| text editor settings such as the background color can be configured on the general 'Text Editors' preference pages. Fonts |
| may be configured on the general 'Colors and Fonts' preference page. |

| contains a list of language elements that may be rendered with its own color and style. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Some identifiers (for eg. var ,yield, record etc..) are restricted identifiers because they are not allowed in some contexts. |
| Semantic highlighting options for such identifiers can be controlled by the language element <strong>Restricted identifiers</strong> |
| under <strong>Java</strong> category. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Note that some semantic highlighting options can be disabled by the user in order to |
| ensure editor performance on low-end systems. |
