There is a rule (Word) in the highlighter which is able to parse a portion of a source code considering a set of alternative words. For instance:
true or false for boolean tokens+, -, *, /, etc. for operator tokens
The technique this rule uses for parsing is not perfect (or maybe the problem comes from the model of rules), since it doesn't consider white spaces. In some cases, it's fine:
var a = false;: we indeed want false to be detected as a boolean, even though there is no white space aftervar a = 2+2: same thing for this plus operator
However, in some cases, this is not suitable. Take for instance any identifier whose name begins with false, like false_assertion. The part false in the identifier will be tokenized as being a boolean.
