Notepad++ syntax highlighting for gnuplot

Luciano Ribeiro

Hello eveyone,

I wanted to know if there is any syntax highlighting for gnuplot. That recognize my gnuplot script code. In summary, I would like notepad ++ to leave them colored. I found information on the internet from 2008, but it did not work.

In vim softwate (linux) this is common.

Thanks in advance

There is no buildin support, but you could extend N++ with an UDL, see http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php/User_Defined_Language_Files and there

You can try the ScintilluaPlusPlus plugin that supports GnuPlot.
