Hello, I am currently evaluating the syntax editor, and is trying to make a color scheme for a simple lisp language. I have a problem with brace matching: end parentheses matches start parenthesis inside strings. In your demo programs (that show highligting in c#) this does not happen, how can I avoid this?

Hi,

I presume you’re using Generic parser with the syntax scheme editor.  
For the lexical styles that you don’t need parentheses to be processed (like strings or comments), you would need to set Plain Text to true, like in the attached image:
