A C mode for WinEdt is currently lacking. If you feel like creating
highlighting settings etc., the WinEdt community would be eternally
grateful if you contribute them to winedt.org.

Unfortunately, there is one major obstacle concerning WEB documents:
WinEdt does not allow different highlighting settings for different
parts within one document.[*] That is, if you apply C highlighting to
the file, all C keywords will also be highlighted in the running text of
the documentation parts, etc.

If you still want to give it a try, you can download a basic WEB mode
that I've compiled:

<http://www.winedt.org/temp/WEB.zip>

It includes highlighting settings for WEB commands and definitions for
the TOC tree (requiring WinEdt 5.4). Suggestions are welcome.
