@Jorge-Carlos ,

Notepad++ has about 80 languages built-in – but that’s a drop in the bucket compared to the uncountable number of coding languages possible in the world. It will never be able to have all the languages that someone might want.

Because the Developers know this, they provided the User Defined Language (UDL) system, whereby you can define as many custom languages as you want for Notepad++ using lists of keywords. So feel free to follow the UDL overview in the Online User Manual, plus the offsite UDL 2.1 guide that’s linked from the Languages > User Defined Language > Define Your Language… dialog, and add your language’s keywords and operators.

The Community even has a Collection of User-submitted UDL where users can submit your UDL definition after you’ve finished creating it, and where you can check before you create the UDL for the language, to see if someone else has already created one.

Looking through the list at the Collection, I see there’s a “Zebra Printing Language” which will show up in the Language menu as “ZPL”, so if you download that XML file and save it in %AppData%\Notepad++\userDefineLangs\ then restart Notepad++, you should see Language > ZPL in the bottom section of Notepad++'s Language menu – and that may or may not be the right language for you, depending on what you mean by “ZPL”.
