      I’m trying to highlight for example the word “JavaScript” at a certain point in my document, but I have the word ‘JavaScript’ at other places in the document but don’t want them highlighted. What settings do I need to change to fix this? Thank you.

        Settings --> Preferences -->Highlighting --> Smart Highlighting
        Clear Enable

          Visual, thanks for asking that question, and gstavi thanks for answering it. I hadn’t found that yet so one less thing to look up. :-)

            Are we talking about “highlighting” or “styling”?

            If styling, on the right click context menu, there are choices for “all” and “one” – you’d want the “one”:

              Highlighting options may be found under Settings -> Preferences ->Highlighting. Smart Highlighting Is Enabled By Default

                @alan-kilborn Yes, styling is what I mean. These are the only options that show up for me though.image_2022-01-23_220752.png

                  @visual Should also note if needed, I’m using version 8.1.9.3

                    Maybe your contextMenu.xml file is out of date?
                    You could pull a current one from a portable release and replace yours with it.
