I am trying to create a lexer for Total Commander menu files. I have succeeded in creating everything that I wanted except the ability to fold between POPUP
and END_POPUP. I have read your tutorials and attempted many variations. I also tried starting with the Autoit lexer and retrofitting it with my lexer. Still
not able to get it to work.
I have attached the lexer I created - without the Blockrules section. Can you give me a some additional help?

errors in your lexer file
1. missing block-rules of course
2. 'token type' fields of Parser rules was not set OK (main error! it prevented to config block-rules, which need 'token type')
3. instead of parser 'popup|end_popup' you must write '\b(popup|end_popup)\b'
3b. the same as 3 for other word-finding parsers
4. 'comment' parser: must support spaces: '^\x20*;.*' -- but to find leading spaces, you must toggle the lexer property "skip leading spaces" (I write by memory, it is checkbox in SynWrite)
5. 'number' parser: need '\d+\b'
lexer is updated. it has folding now.
