Documentation mention 'Syntax Highlighting' as an option in the advanced text editor.

Is it possible to set the highlighting scheme to a given language (SQL) from a stringConcatenator transformer?

It seems you are using the StringConcatenator, which does not support syntax highlighting.

Consider using e.g. the AttributeCreator to concatenate the string instead, the editor there supports syntax highlighting.

In the advanced editor, there is a button "Options" in the bottom left hand corner of the dialog. The first choice is "Syntax Highlighting", where you can select, amonst other things, SQL.

Thank you for answering, I tried in FME 2017, 2019 and 2020 but I don't see it.

Could it be license related?
