Hello @Pascal-P.

unfortunately I don’t know what a hand tool is and what it is used for.

Hello @Scotty-Huff,
normally XML should be UTF-8 encoded but actually I assume this is ANSI.

Give it a try to change in Menu Encoding->Encode ANSI/UTF-8

AFAIK there is not a current way to automatically do something like that. Honestly it sounds like using N++ would be overkill. You might try other command line programs that are made specifically to do these tasks. sed and awk are two that come to mind. They do not come with Windows by default (unfortunately), but they are easy to find online.

Hello @Chris-Swinney,

I’m not sure if you can do this with UDL properly as it is designed to act on words rather than lines.
If it is sufficient then define the keywords ERROR, WARNING with the foreground and background color
of your choice and define a double quote delimiter for open and close. Press style and allow nesting
with your keywords.

If this isn’t what you are looking for, then the other alternative I now would be using a python script
to color the the lines.

Hello @Leszek-Dedko,

yes, can be done by disabling backup functionality.

Settings->Preferences->Backup
uncheck Enable session snapshot and periodic backup

Thanks Claudia, that seems to have cured it :-)

This also worked but if we have millions of rows then its better we use

Search > Replace >

In dialog box ’ Find what ': \n
Replace with : Blank

And Replace All

Changing the old ugly interface:
http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php/Toolbar_Customisation

With the simplification it worked fine :)

Thank you so much Claudia.

Hello @Vaidas-SS,

when you are saying real time you mean that you get these informations while typing html code, correct?
If so, no, npp doesn’t have a html debugger.
From plugin point of view there is a html preview which might be helpful
and the xml tools could be also used to detect missing tags.

What you could also do is using online validators together with npp and
Run function or nppExec.

Claudia

Hello @Adam-Kley,

I described here a way to make it happen.
