Is there a text editor that would allow me to create syntax highlighting easily?

I have a update for you, I am finally pulling it off!

There will be problems down the road, but I will worry about that later.
So far, the most challenging part was highlighting things that counts as comment rather than pointers to image pixels or accessible variables. That's not the end of my trouble though.
I do want to figure out how to highlight "expr" including newlines inside expr. expr is basically any mathematical expression that is utilized on JIT compilation.
Along with that to set up regex inside it to highlight section of expr.
While still maintaining priority of regex. So, if one regex is more important, it'll overwrite whatever highlighted.
What do you mean? I'm pretty new to making syntax highlighting for KDE Kate, so I'm just now fixing my other thing before I get into much more advanced concept of it.
There's no standard regarding G'MIC scripting. That being said, here's a representative G'MIC script - https://pastebin.com/cEPW31HJ .
The first one is basically a example script for testing syntax highlighting. The second one is a real world case study. The second one can be found in https://github.com/GreycLab/gmic-community/blob/master/include/reptorian.gmic .
I haven't included some concepts in the example_cli as you can see that reptorian.gmic introduces some concepts not seen in both. Basically, writing a syntax highlighter for G'MIC would be a nightmare. But doable if I can figure things out.
