Is there a way to enable syntax highlighting in Sharepoint Designer (assuming anyone uses it)?

I’ve seen a few plugins that weren’t free, but couldn’t imagine this wouldn’t be built into it. :\

Edit: I’m using Notepad++ for cleaning up my code then moving it to SPDesigner. It’s working okay, but less steps and all that.
