Hello, @michael-vincent, @alan-kilborn, @ekopalypse, @peterjones and All,

Here is my own Markdown test style ;-))

First, it may give you some hints about the way to realize some specific things, on our NodeBB Notepad++ forum

Secondly, you may use it to test a Markdown lexer or UDL

So, this raw input text, below :

#### FONT styles : ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ DEFAULT text *Italic1* _Italic2_ **STRONG1** __STRONG2__ ***STRONG_italic1*** ___STRONG_italic2___ ~~Strikethrough~~ `Monospace` ``There are LITERAL `back-ticks` here !`` #### HEADERS : ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Header H1 ========= Header H2 --------- and # Header H1 ## Header H2 ### Header H3 ### #### Header H4 ##### Header H5 ###### Header H6 # #### NON-ORDERED lists : ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ * First item * Second item - Third item - Fourth item + Fifth item + Sixth item - Seventh item - Eighth item * Ninth item * Tenth item #### ORDERED lists : ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 1.

@franco-otaola ,

The vim syntax files are very different beasts from Notepad++ syntax-highlighter style-configurator themes or Notepad++ UDL definitions; as far as I know, there is no converter between them.

For Notepad++ builtin lexers, the style-configurator settings change colors and on some keyword types can add extra keywords to the list. Similarly, UDL defines lists of keywords and operators, and sets the colors for those and a few other things.

But in the native Notepad++ interface, you cannot do things like syntax match from a vim syntax file, which defines a new regex to determine when a number or operator or keyword should be considered a match.

If all you want to do is grab the lists of syntax keyword xxx statements, you could grab those, and paste the values from each differently-named xxx into one of the 8 groups of keywords in the Language > User Defined Language > Define Your Language dialog, that is easily doable.

@ColdFlo

Probably not the best place to make your suggestions.
See here for a more detailed explanation.

@Michael-Vincent
That did the trick. Thank you very much.

@beard-second

Please see here.

Hello, @app-guide and All,

Easy with regexes !

Open the Replace dialog ( Ctrl + H)

Type in [\d.]+$ in the Find what: zone

Type in \r\n$0 in the Replace with: zone    OR    \n$0 if you works on an Unix file

Tick the Wrap around option

Select the Regular expression search mode

Click on the Replace All button

Voila :-))

Notes :

The [\d.] regex syntax searches for a single character which can be, either, a digit (\d) or a dot ( . )

Then, the [\d.]+ looks for a non-null range of characters, which can be, either, a digit or a dot

And the [\d.]+$ tries to match the greatest non-null range of digits / dots till the end ( $ ) of current line

In replacement, we first write the line-break characters ( \r\n or \n ), followed with the overall search match ( $0 )

Best regards,

@jeronymite2 said in XAML Regions Not Supported:

<!–#region MyRegion–>
<!-- Lots of XAML! -->
<!–#endregion–>

Npp uses scintilla as a lexer for languages and avoids modifying
individual languages in order to make upgrading to a newer scintilla
version as easy as possible. This means that scintilla has to do it to be
added to npp one day

Hmm… Seems to work OK today - regardless of filename or “no file” saved yet… Thanks for the pointer to the “correct” place though :-)

@Ward-Scott ,

There’s a FAQ for that: in short, docx aren’t text files, and you cannot expect Notepad++ (a Text Editor) to be able to search for literal text in a binary-encoded format like docx.

Notepad++ search-in-files searches for literal bytes (or multibyte characters) in the files on disk, but the docx compresses and otherwise encodes text so that the bytes in the docx file are indistinguishable from random noise to Notepad++.

@D-Mishra

the only source I’m aware of is the official documentation here.
It might not handle everything but I would say most of it.

@Michael-Vincent said in Which plugins would you recommend to install?:

you can get a pretty capable IDE-lite (similar to M$ latest offering everyone seems to be going ga-ga over)

It is a fairly remarkable achievement (N++), given the small number of developers that work on it, compared to the number that must work on M$'s offering. N++ Plugins are a bit of a different story as they all have different authors, but the core product is what I’m talking about (so I guess I’m changing the topic a bit).

Sure, there are A LOT of smallish bugs, and there’s a reluctance for big-change by the author, but maybe this reluctance actually helps keep it great (as opposed to the other way – letting massive changes in, leading to instability and possibly a real mess!).

Can not stress that enough to new users

But, scripting is not for everyone, and in fact seems to scare a lot of people. Plus, people just want to get the job done (and rightly so), not fuss around.

@Luca-Andrea-Ludovico said in XML Tools - Validation problem with inline DTD:

Now I have just updated the plug-in to version 3.0.4.2, and it seems not working anymore: it asks for an XML schema (XSD). The dialog says:

I would open an issue at the XML Tools Github issue tracker if you haven’t done so already. Also, provide a link to this thread in your issue there.

I’ve had no experience interacting with that developer directly, but there have been a flurry of XML Tools updates in the past few months as it seems he migrated to a new XML engine (Replacement of libXML with MSXML) back in January this year (according to Github commits). Since January 2020, there have been 14 new release (counting the latest pre-release). He certainly seems active and committed to the project - and thankfully, since I use XML Tools plugin as well, although maybe not to the degree you are.

Good luck!

Cheers.

@Chris-Blake

When you say keeps failing, what does that mean?
Npp doesn’t do anything but you can still work with it?
You see the busy pointer and Npp isn’t responding anymore?
How large are 44,150 pages?
Which Npp version are you using? (Please post the debug-info from ? menu)
How do you copy the data and is this textual data only?

@Scott-Sanders,

Because you showed %ProgramFiles%\Notepad++ as your path, I am going to assume you have the 64-bit Notepad++ in a 64-bit Windows OS.

So when you installed, you didn’t get HKCR\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\ANotepad++64,
which directs to HKCR\CLSID\{...}\, which points to Notepad++.exe’s installed location? Because that’s what the installer tries to do, in my experience. And that should set up the Edit with Notepad++ right-click entry for all file types.

With 64-bit Windows 10, that sometimes doesn’t work… not because Notepad++ or its installer is doing anything wrong, but because in some configurations of Windows, the OS is starting to move away from always honoring that old-style association, preferring instead to use it’s “OpenWith” list.

In another post from last month (linked here), I pointed another user to look for a bad setting in HKCU\Software\Classes\Applications\notepad++.exe and/or HKLM\Software\Classes\Applications\Notepad++.exe – one or both of those may have accidentally gotten set to %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Notepad++\notepad++.exe instead of %ProgramFiles%\Notepad++\notepad++.exe, in which case Windows won’t allow “Open With” to get assigned to Notepad++. It may be in certain circumstances that the OpenWith confusion makes the edit-with-notepad++ global entry not work… I haven’t experimented with that.

A hyperlink contains visible text and hidden address.

Notepad++ deals with text files that are made of a sequence of symbols (letters) and new lines.
It displays all the symbols in the file. It does not have a concept of hidden “metadata” symbols. If your text file contains ‘here’ that should be treated as a hyperlink text you can’t hide the destination in the same text file since Notepad++ will show it as well. That is (probably) not going to change (ever).

With additional plugins you can imagine a linking-database on the side where the plugin consult the database to jump around.
If you wanted to write: “Additional details can be found in AppleJuice.note” then a tag lookup plugin could allow you to jump into AppleJuice.note file. But if you want 5 different 'here’s to jump into 5 different places you will probably need to develop your own plugin with its propriety database.

Thank you for your reply.
I am using Windows 10.
I want to notice when a error occurs, so I do not want to turn off the sound.

Changing the sound is a good idea.
I changed the sound and noticed.
When I open the SoundMixer at the moment I hear the Notepad ++ error tone, I see the Notepad ++ volume settings.

I just noticed that I ended my previous posting early. It should have read:

“Anyway, finding the text of URLs isn’t quite what you’d want; you’d want to find non-URL text so that you can delete it, leaving only the desired URL text.”
