36,441 PointsYeah, the names of the variables and strings look like that. What about end or variable names between the || symbols? Like |contact|?

Courses Plus Student 3,390 PointsEverything is always light green no matter what. I'm fairly familiar with text editors and know what I should be seeing. Just don't know why I'm not seeing it.
Thanks for the help!
