  Yes, it would be hard to create a new User Defined Language… For using existing HTML highlight, you can add the liquid extension to langs.xml file in the Language name="html" part and you can add some more keywords inside <Keywords name="instre1"> so these are highlighted. Some reading for creating a new User Defined Language: http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php/User_Defined_Languages http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php/User_Defined_Language_Files http://superuser.com/questions/160925/adding-a-new-language-to-notepad http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12574121/adding-a-user-defined-language-in-notepad http://weblogs.asp.net/jongalloway/creating-a-user-defined-language-in-notepad

  Many thanks. Nice to know I won’t have to use things like Word again just to view files side-by-side.

  Hello Richard, That quite weird ! Usually, the SciLexer.dll file should have been installed, with some others, in the same folder than the Notepad++.exe file With that last 6.7.9.2 version of N++, the length of the SciLexer.dll file v3.5.6.0 is 1 045 504 bytes However, I can’t give you a definitive answer, as I always do a portable installation, from the N++ 7z archive Good luck, testing your configuration ! Best regards, guy038

  Hello Mike and Scott, To be exact, I would add : Choose the menu option Settings - Style Configurator… In the Style configurator dialog, choose the Global Styles language Then , select the Default Style style Finally, in the Font Style area, you can select your favourite font and/or its size, too Best Regards, guy38 P.S. : Mike, prefer monospaced fonts to others => Each character will use the same physical place, on your screen :-)

  I just confirmed that manually moving the contents of the plugins directory to a new directory and renaming it to plugins when done has no effect on the sort order of the plugins menu. Drats.

  Might be a little late (9 days ago), but take a look at the file in a hex editor. It’s possible that the UTF (Unicode) is out of sync and you are only seeing the null characters. Assuming you are using Latin based language where 1 byte per character is used, in Unicode every other character is a NULL. Assume that “.” is null. If you open a Unicode file in an editor that doesn’t recognize Unicode, so you can see the actual contents, you will see something like: H.e.l.l.o...W.o.r.l.d.! I haven’t seen what you are talking about happen, and you would have to be saving the file in a Unicode type format for this to happen, but if something was corrupted it could in theory do what you describe. Or, the file might just be lost.

  I would think “hot pink” also known as fuchsia. Old people like me need more drastic contrast :) Should just be an option.

  I am new to Notepad++ but I know the answer to your question. Yes, it can be done, but there appears to be a bug with it loading correctly on startup. Here is my comment about it: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/44/bug-normal-text-always-highlighted

  It seems that your problem is that Compare splits the screen into two ‘views’ and does not remove them after ‘Compare’ is done. Select the unwanted tab on the right or just click in the editable area. Then go to View->Move/Clone current document->Move to other view. It should restore your original environment. Alternately close all tabs in the unwanted ‘view’. The dual ‘view’ mode is actually a Notepad++ feature and can be used for many general editing tasks.

  Hi Glenn, thanks about your answer. I think not explained properly my doubts. The Sql Language serves me very good, but I need to add in the SQL language the ‘@’ to change the variables color. If I create a new language, i´ll need to add all things about SQL language manually, for example commands, operators, and etc I need only add the ‘@’ in SQL language that already exists. I dont know, if is possible create a new language and import all things that exists in a SQL language, and after that, I add only ‘@’. Are you understood my problem ? Thanks again, and sorry about my English, my English is not good yet.

  Hi guy038, you were right, I switched to a style that changed the font, so I have to revert to the default font to see the Greek characters. Thanks!

  Hello mattr, May be, I misunderstand you, but since the N++ v6.5, this feature seems available ! Just select the menu option Settings - Preferences - Auto-Completion and check the option html/xml close tag Then, for instance, as soon as you typed the closing > character of the form <p>, in a html file, it adds, automatically, the string </p>, with the cursor between the two tags, for typing text. Nice, isn’t it ? Cheers, guy038
