While using Eclipse editor one can highlight a code block between curly brackets
{ // code block
....
} // code block
using mouse.

Is there a similar way to highlight code in preprocessor block ?

#ifdef CODEBLOCK
...
#endif

At some point the code block between preprocessor directives was "highlighted" by different background color.
That "feature " no longer works in 2020-03

Please do not post a completely unrelated question to a previous thread.

To your question: Open the Eclipse help for C/C++ Development Toolkit (CDT) and read it. The instructions are there.

Tauno ,
if you actually read the post you COULD see it was not completed .
All YOUR remark did is created unnecessary e-mail traffic.
Please - let it slide in future , or stick to the original post and contribute with real answer instead of cluttering things with superficial "administration".
Thanks

The onlu coloring I have seen on preprocessor directives is when the part of the code is not active, see attached image.
