The syntax support is implemented in the Scintilla part of QScintilla. 
Currently Scintilla v3.3.6 is used, v3.5.0 is the latest version 
(although there isn't much useful new stuff).

Try and find out if the support you need is in the latest Scintilla - 
maybe by just building and trying the latest Scite. If it is then I need 
to upgrade to it. If not then you need to ask on the Scintilla mailing 
list.
