Functions list does not work for (X)HTML files

jabcreations · Feb 17, 2022, 2:12 AM

The functions list is incredibly useful for me however it does not work in XHTML (and I presume HTML) files.

I use XHTML files for quick standalone tests and for creating utilities that I need for internal development purposes.

Here is a simple example of what the structure of the code looks like:

**<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“UTF-8”?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns=“http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml ” xml:lang=“en”>
<head>
<title>Example Application</title>
<script type=“application/javascript”>
//<![CDATA[
function hello_world() {alert(‘Hello World’);}
//]]>
</script>
</head>

<body>

<main><p>Hello world.</p></main>

</body>
</html>**

Everything else has been working fine and I haven’t encountered any instability in Notepad++ for probably a good two years now, maybe longer.

You can write your own. Here’s mine:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

@michael-vincent Well, I’d thank you though I have no idea what to do with that. I just posted a bug report here:

You put it in your Notepad++/functionList folder and restart Notepad++.

It highlights all the header tags in HTML files. If you want something specific to functions and script tags, you can, as I said, write your own. It’s simple XML. Follow the instructions here https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/function-list/

It certainly isn’t a bug.

Cheers.

@michael-vincent I have mountains on top of my mountains of work; I just don’t have it. I’ve got more than half a dozen dumbshit browser bugs that are extremely difficult to reproduce to report on top of my normal overflow of work. It’s just not happening at my end.
