This question is better asked on WTP forum since the shared model that 
underlies the XML editors (and therefore implementation of the XML API 
classes you are using) are owned by WST (web standard tools).

Windows->Preferences->Web->HTML Files->Editor->Syntax Coloring.  In terms of 
more specific questions, the more general WTP forum would be better since they 
own the SSE (structured source editor) which is what you see your source in.

This depends on the source type (HTML vs. JSP etc.) and what you want to 
add.  There are several layers which the WTP forum can help you with.  If 
you need help specifically with adding content-assist for JSF elements, 
attributes and EL, we can give more help here if you give me specifics.
