HTML Tag Colors

Is there any way to specify which tags get which colors for HTML tags (and to use this within a cfm page)

If CFEclipse, you could specify <table> tags get "green", <input> tags get "orange", etc, but I'm not finding this capability in CFBuilder.  It seems to be an all or nothing deal (unless there's a way to specify the "keywords" within HTML -> Editors -> HTML -> Colors in preferences as is in some of the other Editors in CFBuilder)

Sadly, no.  CFB uses eclipse's colorization, which sucks.  CFEclipse rolled their own, which doesn't suck.

Given they lifted the snippets from CFE, I wonder why they didn't lift the colourisation too?

Don't know.  CFE's colorization was developed before eclipse (aptana?)  added the new colorization system which was supposed to be super  advanced, though it really lacks.  I guess it works well enough for Java  code, but diverse tag based code suffers.
