Q: I want syntax highlighting. When will it be included?

Q: I want syntax highlighting. When will it be included?

A: Currently, the GTK+ Text widget isn't suitable for syntax highlighting to be implemented reliably. We might add syntax highlighting when we migrate to the new text widget.

On the other hand, `gedit` intends to be a simple text editor. If you are looking for syntax highlighting, we strongly recommend you use a full featured text editor like `VIM`, `emacs`, or `elvis`.
