Hello B., and all,

  • Could you precise your issue?

About syntax highlighting:

  • It is not due to PlantUML himself, but rather on the plugin you use...

Then:

  • What plugin are you using?
  • Ask perhaps the question directly on the plugin discussion pages?

Regards,
Th.

Hello B., and all,

Here is an example using preproc. variable, as:

@startuml
!DateTime="<color:teal>DateTime"
!double="<color:blue>double"

start
:Some block
====
|= field| type|
| StartDate| DateTime|
| Duration| double|;
stop
@enduml


Just avoid to use any PlantUML language keyword...
Enjoy,

Regards,
Th.
