BASIC Code

Will Notepad++ ever support BASIC programming language? I mean like 80’s BASIC, not visual basic. It already supports COBOL, which is extremely “vintage”, so why not include ASCII BASIC?

Hello Michael Meli,
notepad++ has a framework called user defined languages (UDL ).
Which means you can create your own highlighting syntax. In addition there are already several UDL created which can be downloaded
from here , maybe the hardwork is already done.

Cheers

It does not have ASCII BASIC code defined.

But there are jBASIC and PBASIC . Are they so different? Maybe you only need
to delete/add some keywords and ASCII BASIC is done?

Cheers
