Yes, it has a quite impressive list of highlighters, also syntax

jedit's highlighter configuration is regular-expression based, so it
doesn't have such power that vim or emacs, where you can write code
to highlight. (Actually you could write a plugin that colors
according to more complex rules, as I do in LilyPondTool to make
different background color for Scheme parts.)
Sounds good, but it looks like several hours
work to gain familiarity with it, which I can't
spare just at the moment. Actually, the feature
I miss most is folding, which it has, especially
if it can fold texinfo subsections etc (?),
Folding is possible via three ways: indentation, explicit fold markers
and plugins. The plugin way is used by LilyPondTool, because folding
needs a parser.
Also there is a folding plugin which uses regular expressions for the
starting end beginnings of folds, though not as powerful as Kate's
folding engine which allows using more folding regions.
So I'm afraid you will not find jEdit as your swiss knife editor.
