Yes, I knew that most of the lists were for ConTeXt. But I don't understand the
use of these lists or what are the gains of using these lists comparing to not 
using 
them -- I tested with some ConTeXt sources and it seems that the ColouriseTeXDoc
works OK without setting %interface=en, nl, de etc. As I mentioned in the 
original 
message, users often define their own commands and structures, and these might 
not 
be in the lists, so might not get coloured if some of the interfaces is turned 
on;

OK, I am not proposing that removing the current ColouriseTeXDoc is a necessity.
I just wondered if using the lists in it is necessary. I wish to know how many 
users 
are depending on these interfaces now?

BTW, for me the two colourising procedures ColouriseTeXDoc and 
ColouriseLaTeXDoc 
work a little differently: the latter allows for asigning different colours to
inline maths and displayed maths, and also different colours for the tags
\begin{...} ... \end{...} and the contents therein, this is very convenient but 
the former
does not have this effect; on the other hand the former allows for colourising 
braces
which is also convenient while the latter doesn't do this.
