How to use LaTeX language instead of TeX language when opening a ".tex"-file by default

Stefan Karlsson

When opening a “.tex”-file, Notepad++ uses Language TeX to view it.

How can I make it view it using LaTeX language instead, with selecting LaTeX language in the menu every time i open a file?

Both has “.tex” as the default extension in “Style Configurator”.

open your notepad++ langs.xml file, which is usually here: %AppData%\Notepad++\langs.xml

search for <Language name="tex" ext="tex" commentLine="%"></Language> and rename the tex extention to e.g. tex_ to deactivate it

then save and restart notepad++
