Notepad++ - customised syntax highlighting

Question

Is it possible to customise Notepad++ to perform begin and end matching when displaying the programming language Verilog?

I would like it to highlight the corresponding begin / end when my text cursor is over either of the two - identical to what happens when my text cursor is over an open or closed bracket, like this image explains:

Is there a general solution for altering syntax highlighting, specifically highlighting pairs of words/punctuation marks not specific to Verilog?

Answer 1

SynWrite editor has fully customizable lexers (also for Verilog - verilog lexer isn't included by default, needs to be unpacked from MoreLexers.rar and be installed). SynWrite allows to hilite both begin / end words, when caret is over this begin-end block. (This can be configured for a lexer).

Answer 2

From what I've researched so far, there's no quick and easy way to do this unfortunately.

The only route I can see is to write a lexer in C# using NppSharp.
