Because I've been using jEdit to write my modules, I decided it'd be a good idea to have Drupal functions in a different color. It gives me feedback when I spell the function correctly, and I can decide whether to search for an unfamiliar function in api.drupal.org or php.net.

I wrote a page detailing the instructions to accomplish this at http://www.ubercart.org/uberdoc/drupal_syntax_highlighting. Even if you don't have jEdit, you can download the list of functions and apply it to your favorite text editor. I'm using the 5.x functions, but other Drupal version should be able to use this technique without a problem.

Being a heavy JEdit user, I second the thanks! (though I'm looking to move into Eclipse soon.)
