@PeterJones
hello and Thank You…
I think I had read all of the references you posted, and must have misunderstood everything.
(sigh) I’m feeling so old (LoL)
just used your example and it worked perfectly
…
well, except I next will want to enter an exception for cases of a period before the first carriage return.
I think I know how to get that working, now that you’ve given me a great direction.
Again, Thank You!

@PeterJones,

Thanks for the explanation,
I build a usable userDefineLang.xml, so i 'll keep that one till next official release,

Please let me ask you an other help, for the User Defined Language :

Let’s create “alphatest” as a name for a new user defined language , close notepad++, new bloc appears in userDefineLang.xml for that “alphatest” , remove it from userDefineLang.xml manually , repopen Notepad++ : you can’t use that name “alphatest” again,

Thanks,

Thank you @PeterJones, this is a perfect solution.

@Robk-Blue said in Tidy2 or other HTM L plugins:

It looks like Tidy2 is a 32 bit plugin and I can’t find a x64 version. Is it able to be used still? Any other options?

Yeah, Tidy2 hasn’t been updated in more than a decade – it’s essentially abandoned. And as far as I can tell, no one here has grabbed the source code, recompiled for 64-bit, and published it anywhere (that has happened on some other plugins that used to be only 32-bit, if someone here was interested enough in that plugin to do it for themselves and share it with others)

XML Tools is able to make XML look pretty, and usually works on HTML files as well.

Other than that, it’s possible to pass the current file to your favorite external command-line code-prettifier (tidy.exe, if you installed HTML Tidy utility on your computer yourself), using either the Run > Run to create a User-defined command, or using a plugin like Pork2Sausage or NppExec.

See also the FAQ: How do I use Notepad++ to Compile my Source Code (or Convert My Text)?, which has a section on Converting text (which is what things like tidy.exe are doing), and explains how to use the plugins mentioned in the previous paragraph to accomplish conversion tasks.
