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:

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,

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.

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
