首先编写一段代码，存为.stx 文件（比如sql.stx），然后在editplus的菜单条Tools-> Preferences->Files->Setting &syntax，,点addbutton，例如以下图：
在弹出框中填写上SQL，例如以下图：
再点击Advancedbutton，在弹出框的file Extensions栏位也填上SQL,假设有多个扩展名，之间用“；”隔开（比如：sql; db2），例如以下图：
然后在syntax file栏位填上sql.stx文件所在的路径，例如以下图：
以下是我的sql.stx文件源代码（转载：http://hi.baidu.com/wriwgqzuyvfpvwe/item/c0cc27d67299d616d80e445b）：
