    @Guilherme-R-Basilio Solved. Thanks to @CosmicPenguin2 in the forum.

    NPP 64 bits is not recognised by Windows Control Panel and will not accept any file type/extension as default program.
    I installed the 32 bit version and it replaced Windows Notepad OK.

    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.

    It happened to me when I specifically added the UTF-8 directive in the head area. The bullet and other characters where strangely displayed!

    <head>
    <meta charset=“utf-8”/>
    produces weird characters IF the file is not Saved as UTF-8.

    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.

    The answer is to use “>\n<” in the Replace box.

    I had actually tried this before posting the question, but accidently used /n instead of \n.

    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,

    guy038

    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++

    When saving, save name[dot], E.g. xxx. and file will be named xxx rather than xxx.txt.

    word is a reference to Microsoft Word. Notepad++ is not a word processor!

    There is, however, an old HTML editor of the 1990s: Arachnophilia. I still use it, as it adds tags for me (e.g. select text, then press Ctrl+I to emphasize). I copy-and-paste from Word, for example, to Arachnophilia: the formatting is preserved. Then, when I see bold text, I simply select the text in Arachnophilia and press Ctrl+B, etc.

    Maybe Claudia can write such a useful plug-in.

    Peace be with you and this community!

    Thanks for the help. Here is a simple parser for MooTools. I’ll expand it as I become more familiar with PCRE.

    I don’t know PL1, but if it has any type of preprocessing ability like C does, you could do something like this:

    #define procend end

    and then use “procend” in your code. This is not ideal, I admit.

    Otherwise, I think you have to define all the statement N’s you might use as the beginning of some fold (Open:) and add the corresponding number of “end” statements to end the fold (Close:). That is, you can have multiple Open:, Middle: and Close: tokens; just make sure they are in the correct order (first Close: goes with the first Open:, etc.).
