with VBScript
• Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
• Document Type Definition (DTD)
• Extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML)
• HTML Full Tag (colors entire tags rather than the elements inside tags)

• JavaScript
• JavaServer Pages (JSP)
• Perl
• Personal Home Page (PHP)
• Structured Query Language (SQL)
• Tex t
