I really don’t see how people would prefer auto expanding behavior but even if I’m in the minority, I’d like to be offered an option, please :( …

The auto expanding behavior is usually good though at times is disruptive. If you search for a word then a match may ensure the line is visible which may cause the fold to collapse so that you can see the match.

Reminds me of this issue #12121 where posted some Lua code to help prevent auto expanding behavior. It is not an ideal solution but may help a little with that particular problem. The behavior that makes expanding happen for you is not clear with your problem to know what may help.

In the Lua code, notice the change of this setting

SC_AUTOMATICFOLD_NONE = 0 editor.AutomaticFold = SC_AUTOMATICFOLD_NONE

which disables auto folding. View editor.AutomaticFold for more details. Need LuaScript plugin for the Lua code. Many of the other scripting plugins can possibly do this function call too.

And if I can inconvince you more, it’d be even nicer if I can collape folders from the bottom as well. As of right now, collapse button(“-”) is only at the top left side.

The tail fold line can be the last hidden line when a fold is collapsed so unsure how that line can possibly have a visible tail fold marker.

Plugin Manager - what happened with it, where did it go?

The old Plugin Manager plugin hasn’t been compatible with Notepad++ in 7 years. In v7.6 (in 2018), it was replaced by the built-in Plugins Admin tool. Use that built-in tool, not the old, unmaintained, advertising-supported Plugin Manager.

@Bruno-Guillemette said in NPP RSS Feed broken?:

I’ve looked into this and we’re being blocked by them sometimes. They’d have to whitelist our IP range, which is: 8.29.198.0/24 and that would fix it.

This Forum is a Community of Notepad++ users. If you want to contact the developer, you’d have to either create an issue in the main GitHub repo (which isn’t really where website errors belong, but sometimes people post them there) or email Don directly (his contact information is on the Notepad++ website). If you would like him to “whitelist” an IP range to be able to see the RSS feed, you’d have to contact him, not us.

My guess is there isn’t any setting on the Notepad++ website itself which is directly blocking Feedly. My guess is that Feedly isn’t passing the CloudFlare captcha, so CloudFlare (which inserts itself between user requests and the underlying website) is the one that’s blocking Feedly, not any setting on the Notepad++ website. (And honestly, the fact that the employee in the email you quoted is not knowledgable enough to have tried accessing the RSS feed directly, and seeing that a CloudFlare are-you-a-human prompt comes up, makes me wonder about the quality of their support.) However, I seem to remember that Don was able to make it so that the updater-XML URL was “unblocked” for CloudFlare, so maybe he’d be able to do the same for the RSS URL… but I don’t know.

@Doreen-Ammons

It is possible. There are a few ways to do it, depending on your exact circumstances. Here is one way:

Open a new, empty tab.

If you don’t see line numbers at the left, go to Settings | Preferences… | Margins/Border/Edge and check Display in the Line Number box at the top right.

Press and hold the Enter key until you have exactly 200 lines.

Edit | Select All (or Ctrl+A).

Open Edit | Column Editor….

Select Number to Insert; set the Format to Dec. the numbers to 1, 1, 1 and Leading to None.

Click OK. You should now see the numbers 1 to 200 in your file.

The column editor will leave extraneous (for this purpose) blanks after the one and two digit numbers. Use Edit | Blank Operations | Trim Trailing Space to remove them.

From your original source, copy the fixed part of the text; that is, everything from “goldplate” to “1.2.3.” including the point but not including the final 1.

Go back to tab with the list of numbers from 1 to 200. Click at the very beginning of the list, at the left of the 1. Scroll to the bottom using the mouse (not the keyboard), hold down Shift and Alt, and click at the left of the 200. You should see a thin, blinking line running at the left of all your lines.

Paste. You’ll see the text you copied added before each number.

You can now Select All, copy, and paste this back into your original file.

@Bjorgen-Eatinger said in The Nightmare %> Issue:

This issue only occurs in a case like this:

Sadly, you did not give nearly enough for us to be able to investigate your problem any further. I put in exactly that line (and only that line) into bjorgen.asp on my local IIS, and when I go to that page, it gives me a server error:
5728353b-eb82-47ee-baa1-0082457cc706-image.png

… And I confirmed that other pages, like the one I showed above, are still working on my local server.

From what I understand, the ' as a comment is VBSCRIPT syntax, not ASP-specific syntax. Because I thought everything outside of <% ... %> was just interpreted as ASP (and my quick web searches seem to confirm that conclusion on my part). In which case, putting the ' before a <% ... %> line is not “commenting out” anything, it’s just putting a single-quote in the static HTML portion of the code. Moreover, you aren’t supposed to nest <% ... %> inside each other, as far as my searches tell me. So your single line is really confusing… because if it’s outside of a containing <% ... %>, then I don’t see why you think that the ' is commenting anything. And if it’s inside a containing <% ... %>, I don’t see why you have another <% ... %> nested inside. This is why a complete example is needed for us to be able to see what you mean. It doesn’t have to be huge – my example document from earlier (with the . ' what goeth here in the rendering) is only about a dozen lines.

And per the Microsoft documentation linked in the Lexilla issue,

<% i = i +1 'This statement increments i. (This script will work.) %>

… is valid / complete syntax: the ' comment only comments out the text portion – the %> closer tag does not get hidden by the comment inside the <% ... %>.

Taking that line, and putting it into zufuliu.asp with a few other lines,

Text before <% i = i +1 'This statement increments i. (This script will work.) %> text after <br>i = <%= i %>

… to actually render something in the webpage, I see:
d8c908a2-4250-41f8-85a7-07f073fe642a-image.png
And Notepad++ is highlighting that as expected: the i = i + 1 is code, the 'This statement increments i. (This script will work.) is a comment, and the %> still closes the code, and everything after still runs.

Moreover, if I use a ' to “comment out” the <% ... %> line, it doesn’t actually make that code not run. It just interprets the ' as part of the HTML, not as part of the VBSCRIPT.
2a2540ba-16a9-4beb-957d-da2b7353ae7e-image.png

So your single line of ' <% Sub ApplyPasswordReset(oConnGlobal, postData, ByRef result). %> does nothing to show us where the bug might be, or what’s going wrong.

To be able to prove whether there’s a bug in Lexilla, a bug in Notepad++, or just user error, you need to give a complete known-good ASP code that shows the problem, that we can open with IIS to see that the code works as expected (ie, to show it’s valid ASP that you are trying to edit), that we can open with Notepad++ to see that it highlights “wrong”, and opens with SciTE to show that it highlights “right” or “wrong” depending on what you say (the last time, I believe I understood you to say that it was rendering right in SciTE),

If you want help, you need to give all the information from the 3 simple steps I put in my last post and reiterated here. Please understand, I am not saying this to be mean: the Lexilla people do not believe there is a bug in their library (the issue has been closed as PEBKAC). Nothing you have shown us gives evidence of a bug in Notepad++. If you don’t provide exactly what I described above, your report will be diagnosed to be user error, and nothing will ever happen.

At this point, it’s your decision as to what happens next.
