Can you help me to change the .cpp syntax highlighting? I don’t want it to make the background of the % red. And I don’t understand why “% some text %” and “%c” are treated like valid, and even “%” is not.
?? 
Thanks!
"%" is a valid string

I don’t think any of these are wrong ( http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstdio/printf/ )
- % is a special character and is not supposed to be used alone. You can escape it with %% not %
- %c is correct, it is the format for a character.
- “% s” is also correct since % can be followed by a space.

Yes sorry, %% not %, I was confused. But when you paste the code from e.g. http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/ctime/strftime/ ST doesn’t understand these format specifiers, I’d rather like it to be quiet about the %.
Oh and cout << “50%”; should just look valid. So the ST %-alarming is: 1) incomplete, see strftime 2) misplaced in C++
