    , "BGColor": 0xRRGGBB        ; Background color

    ; The highlighter function (FuncObj or name)
    ; to generate the highlighted RTF. It will be passed
    ; two parameters, the first being this settings array
    ; and the second being the code to be highlighted
    , "Highlighter": Func("HighlightAHK")

    ; The colors to be used by the highlighter function.
    ; This is currently used only by the highlighter, not at all by the
    ; RichCode class. As such, the RGB ordering is by convention only.
    ; You can add as many colors to this array as you want.
