I have only a passing knowledge of Python, but since no one else has answered, I think Python or another scripting language would be the only way to do what you want in Notepad++ (and it would probably be fairly simple outside of Notepad++ also). Otherwise, it should be fairly trivial for a moderate spreadsheet user to make these changes in Excel, Open Office, or Google Docs - the hardest part would be importing and exporting the file in the correct format.

The only reason I’m not saying Notepad++ is not the tool for the job is that I hear that Notepad++ has the capability to run Python scripts (which I have never used). Otherwise, doing a Find/Replace for each label:value pair, would be rather clunky, and I’d recommend you direct your efforts towards finding a scripting or Excel solution to your problem.

Notepad++ can do some awesome things, but math is probably something it will (rightly) never natively be good at. Hope this helps.

If I’m understanding the question correctly, the answer is yes, you can set/change the folder location. I don’t use Dropbox, but for Google Drive, I have to set up the application on my PC, then, for example, my location is Google Drive\Development\Npp. If I wanted to change it to Google Drive\Npp or something else, as long as that folder exists on Google Drive, I can change it. Note that I’m currently on version 7.3.3.

There are big diferences between the two HTML options in Notepad++.

When Save As, then type HTML, Notepad++ leaves the file as plain text; it only adds the .html extension. The browser treats it as such and doesn’t add anything (e.g. new lines, paragraphs):

When Export to HTML (in Plugins), Notepad++ adds some HTML features to the plain text file. The page will show end of lines, paragraphs:

You can use whichever style you prefer; the lone restriction is that the same character must be used to open and close an emphasis span.

Notepad++, however, is not an HTML editor of choice. It only creates primitive HTML files. You need a lot of manual work to format your Web page. Personally, I use a dedicated HTML editor released in the 1990s: Arachnophilia. It has worked on Windows 95, and all the way to 64-bity Wimndows 10. It adds a lot of tags for me, plus the code is very clean.

Hello, @friemen-yellow,

You, probably, have the encoding auto-detection enabled. I advice you to disable that feature ( Settings > Preferences… > MISC > Autodetect character encoding ). So, on opening a Cyrillic encoded file, N++ should use, the standard ANSI encoding…

And, as your default character set, for NON-Unicode files, is, certainly, Windows-1251, your should see, immediately, the right Cyrillic characters, that you expect to :-))

To verify which is your default encoding configuration, for Non-Unicode files, just open the ASCII Insertion Panel ( Edit > Character Panel ). For Windows-1251, the uppercase Cyrillic characters lay, between code values 192 and 223 and the lowercase Cyrillic characters are between code values 224 and 255.

And if you change the default ANSI encoding for the Windows-1251 encoding ( Encoding > Character sets > Cyrillic > Windows-1251 ), the list, in the ASCII Insertion panel is updated but shoud remain unchanged !

You may also, for quick change to the Windows-1251 encoding, use a shortcut. Choose the menu option Settings > Shortcut Mapper… > Main Menu > Windows-1251 ( Line 213 ). I, personally, chose the Crtl + Alt+ E shortcut. Unfortunately, there’s a small bug, as the shortcut description overwrites the encoding zone, on the right part of the status bar ! So, the new current encoding is, generally, impossible to distinguish :-((

Best Regards,

PS :

In addition, if you’re using the option Settings > Preferences > Backup > Remember current session for next launch, the Windows-1251 encoding of your opened Cyillic files should be preserved, from one session to the next one, as it is clearly coded in the Session.xml configuration file ( encoding=“1251” ) if, of course, you did not close these files, before closing N++
