However, from what I’ve gathered reading the forums, doing the fancier stuff like choosing a different background based on context (ie, type of block, or number of levels of nested blocks) would probably require that you (or someone you contract or otherwise convince) write a custom lexer or other plugin.

Disclaimer: I am not an NPP developer, and I do not know the details of writing a custom lexer or plugin, nor the benefits, limitations, or differences thereof. If someone else knows of an easier way, feel free to correct me.

Take a look at this github issue, which just yesterday made some progress with ligatures. Currently it is possible with a little bit of work, but not natively supported yet.

It works

Thank you very much

briliant !

Settings -> Style Configurator. Under “Language:” select “Global Styles”. Under “Style:” select “Brace Highlight style”. Choose the colors and fonts you want to use.

Note that if under the “Global override” Style you have enabled any global style elements, they will have precedence.

In fact, everything seems to work differently between programs.
Which is the best standard to use, and how to convert to it?

There is no such thing as a BEST standard. Why? Because there are many
situations when the “standard” is good and when it is bad.
If you need to work with old databases you don’t want to use files with
utf8+bom encoding, maybe you don’t want to use utf8 at all.
On the other side, utf8 is by far the most versatile encoding (afaik).
From programming side of view I would always use uft8 nowadays but
as said, it might be irrelevant in your case.

What is good to know about encoding is written here
and here (which is part of the first link anyway).
