Hi all,

I just started new applications using new [Objects in scilab](https://scilab.discourse.group/t/objects-in-scilab/1058) features. when coding in the Scinotes environment I noticed that the variables declared in properties or methods blocks are not catched by the syntax highligthing routine to identify the pattern (selected name of property or method), while it works in VScode scilab plugin environment.

I assume the syntax highligthing tool should catch it, shouldn’t it ?
