Rulers for Notepad++
-
I saw some earlier discussion about rulers, but being new to this I was and am unable to figure how I can add both horizontal and vertical rulers to notepad++.
Is there a way, and if so what/where?

@Charles-Billow, some earlier forum threads mention a rulers plugin and also that the ColumnTools plugin has a ruler.
- Adding Ruler below tab bar
- A Notepad++ beautiful ruler plugin (finally!)
- Can someone convert the Horizontal Ruler Plugin to 64 bit, please?
- Plugin Horizontal Ruler
- Keep words and number with columns
- I quit. You win. I’ll go find another tool
That said, it’s not clear what you mean by “ruler.” Notepad++ does not have, and probably can’t have, the inch or centimeter style rulers that Microsoft Word, for example, can show.
Preferences / Margins/Border/Edgehas a Vertical Edge Settings thing that can add vertical ruler style lines.At times I construct temporary rulers in Notepad++ but have always just typed out
