In which languages the reserved words are the same as keywords?

Note: AKA "Magic words"

Hello all. As part of a university technical writing class assignment, our professor decided to have the class edit/create/revise a Wikipedia article. The content on this page as of 25 JAN 08, 23:00 EST, is our "contribution". I hope you find it satisfactory. I would have liked to include some references, but we didn't get that far. Any comments would be welcome. Thanks

Reserved words not highlighted as described

In the section "Comparison by language", the intro text says that the keywords in the examples are in blue, but in fact they aren't. The Java example has them in bold, while for COBOL the words IF, THEN, and ELSE are in an ugly gold color. Actually, I see the wikicode specifies "fortran" as the language; "cobol" gives different highlighting, but still doesn't highlight all keywords. What should we do about this? Highlight it manually? It's a bad idea to rely on the automatic highlighting and then say it looks a certain way, since it can vary both over time and possibly by which skin a reader is using. ddawson (talk) 02:26, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
