texstudio shows sections inside verbatim environment in the structure of the document

Question

I have inside a verbatim environment, a description of some document. It is all verbatim. So TeXStudio should ignore everything inside it. For some reason, it is reading what is inside the verbatim, and sees \section in there, and it is showing this in the structure of the document itself. Which makes navigation very hard.

It is supposed to ignore this, since I made sure to add this environment in the Configure->Custom Highlighting and told it it is of type verbatim. Yet, it seems to make no difference. Here is MWE

\documentclass[11pt]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{fancybox,fancyvrb}
\DefineVerbatimEnvironment{verbatimwrite}{Verbatim}{}

\begin{document}

\section{real section that should show in structure}

\begin{verbatimwrite}
   \documentclass[12pt,notitlepage]{article}
     \section{this should NOT show up in structure}
      example of a document
     \subsection{This should also NOT show up}
   \end{document} 
\end{verbatimwrite}

\end{document}

The strange thing is that it does color the verbatim environment in green, which tells me it knows it is not the same as the main document, but it shows those verbatim section in the structure. Here is screen shot

And here is screen shot showing that verbatimwrite is added to custom highlighting as verbatim

The strange thing, if I change the environment name verbatim, now it works

Is the custom highlighting broke in TexStudio? I am using latest and greatest.

On windows 7, 64 bit.

Is there something else I can try to fix this? It is impossible to navigate the document like this, as it is large and I have many such environments there and they show up in the structure making it hard to know where one is.

Update, I assumed that all one had to do is tell texstudio that the env is verbatim type in the custome hightliting. Here is a link

Answer 1

Essentially, Custom Highlighting is a dead end in development as it has proven to be too inflexible. It's likely to be removed in the future.

Instead, you should define a cwl file for your commands and declare them as verbatim:

\begin{verbatimwrite}#V
\end{verbatimwrite}

More information on the cwl format can be found in the user manual.
