## "keywords" block:

Defines a list of keywords to highlight and show code completion for. Each keyword is defined as

    Keyword = "Keyword description";

"Keyword" is a word used in a script, "Keyword description" provides additional information about a keyword, like function arguments or hints about what function or it's parameters do.

Example:

    keywords
    {
    	CanRaiseActor = "bool CanRaiseActor(int tid)\nChecks to see if the actor or actors with the specified tid are viable for resurrection.\nIf tid is 0, the check is done on the activator of the script.";
    }

## "constants" block:

Defines a list of constants to highlight and show code completion for.

Example:

    constants
    {
    	AAPTR_DEFAULT;
    	AAPTR_FRIENDPLAYER;
    	AAPTR_GET_LINETARGET;
    	AAPTR_MASTER;
    	AAPTR_NULL;
    }
