Maybe use the CO-1D Alt-Viewer configuration option to point to a app (console or GUI) that does the highlighting you need.

Doing a web search it looks like there are *nix programs that could be used, for example something in GnuWin32 might be usable.


GUI solution
Find or write a ZAAP
I tried https://fossil.2of4.net/zaap/doc/trunk/ZPreview/readme.md, which used to work for me to view files but not today, I cannot remember if it does syntax highlighting.
