More Specific Code Coloring in DW2017

In main.less, is there a way to be more specific with coloring code, something like the attached picture?  The idea that all tags in a code type are colored the same makes for a lot of painful searching.

      What are you specifically tying to target in your PHP code theme? 

      Can you paste an example of the PHP code you're using and what you want to change that you can't?

      <!doctype html>

      <html>

        <head>

        <meta charset="utf-8">

        <title>Some Document</title>

        </head>

        <body>

        <div>

        <form method="post" action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>">

        <label>

        Name

        <br>

        <input type="text" name="name" style="color:#282828"/>

        </label>

        <button>

        Save

        </button>

        </form>

        </div>

        </body>

      </html>

      I would like to be able to have each one of these tags as a different color as well as the CSS on the inline styling, attributes, strings, etc... Kind of like this example.

      As far as I know, that's not possible.  .cm-tag is universal -- effecting the code color of all such tags.

      Learn how you can customize the colors of your code elements in Dreamweaver.

      Below, I opened your code in Chrome with the Token Inspector tool.  As you can see, the .cm-tag highlights all the tags.
