      I downloaded the three MediaWiki UDLs from here:

      http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php/User_Defined_Language_Files

      However, they all fail on self-closing reference tags. For instance:

      <ref name=“fundamentals”/>

      How do I fix this? Thanks!

        Hello Michael-Horvath,

        may I ask why they fail?
        They are defined in delimiter 5 and style is green underlined which seems to be happen.

        Cheers
        Claudia

          The UDL looks for “<ref” and tries to close with “</ref>”. But if there is instead a “<ref name=fundamentals/>” then the closing condition is missing.

            Here is an article where you can observe the problem, beginning at line 16.

              Hello Michael Horvath,

              I guess I understand what you mean.

              <ref name=“Pächt83”/> and confirmed with the 1959 discovery of …

              is painted in green underlined, whereas

              <ref name=“Pächt83”/>

              should be the only one and the text afterwards should be again in black, correct?

              Contrary to

              <ref name=whatever> here some text </ref>

              where everything should be painted in green and underlined.

              Afaik, having two different closing tags for one opening tag isn’t supported yet.

              Cheers
              Claudia
