Sorry forthe really late post

I follow what you have done but doesn’t work…
N++ doesn’t recognize the fuction and doesn’t show the hints

this is the fuction definition

<KeyWord name=“TestFuctionWord” func=“yes” />
<Overload retVal=“int” >
<Param name=“int Input” />
</Overload>
</KeyWord>

it recognize enerything else like number, operator, keyword, comment

and for Autocompleting the nameFuction?

Sorry for the bad english

Step 1: define the new language
Menu Language->Define your language…
open tab Keywords Lists
press Styker in 1st group
choose a foreground and background color if needed
put the word “testkeyword” (without quotes) into the textbox of 1st group
press Save As… button
put the name “test” in (without quotes)
check menu Language, you should see the language now

Step 2: define API file
Open a new file - menu File->New
Put the following content into the file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" ?>
<NotepadPlus>
    <AutoComplete language="test">
        <Environment ignoreCase="yes" startFunc="(" stopFunc=")" paramSeparator="," terminal=";" />
        <KeyWord name="testkeyword" func="yes">
            <Overload retVal="int" >
                <Param name="int i" />
                <Param name="int j" />
            </Overload>
        </KeyWord>
    </AutoComplete>
</NotepadPlus>

save it as C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\APIs\test.xml

Step 3: Check Settings->Preferences->Atuo-Completion it should look like this

Step 4: use it
open a new file - menu File->New
check language - menu Language->test
type the word “testkeyword” (without quotes)
you should see the word in a list, use tab key to complete
press key “(” (without quotes) and you should see the hints

Someone could tell me step by step, what should I do to make it work?

Or send me some files ready, and show me the steps of how it should work?

Do you know if there is any way to change the colors of keywords that exist in the text to a fortran.xml format for example?

If you have some plugin I would like it.

I don’t understand you (Eu não entendo você).
One xml which can be used by any language(Um XML que pode ser utilizado por qualquer linguagem)?
If so, this doesn’t work (Se assim for, isso não funciona).

Cheers
Claudia

O nome xml precisa corresponder ao idioma, caso contrário o npp não pode saber qual xml precisa ser carregado.

I want to create an XML to be able to configure any format.

That would be the content.

https://docs.polserver.com/pol099/index.php

do yu really have a language called my?
C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\APIs\ my.xml

The xml name needs to match the language otherwise npp can’t know which xml needs to be loaded.

Cheers
Claudia

I add a new XML with this content.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\APIs\my.xml

The tool does not display in the list of languages.

Can someone help me?

I’m wanting to stop using noteped ++
Is there a plugin that will help me with autocomplete?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" ?>
<NotepadPlus>
<AutoComplete language="C++">
<Environment ignoreCase="no" startFunc="(" stopFunc=")" paramSeparator="," terminal=";" additionalWordChar = "."/>
<KeyWord name="abs" func="yes">
<Overload retVal="int" descr="Returns absolute value of given integer">
<Param name="int number" />
</Overload>
</KeyWord>
</AutoComplete>
</NotepadPlus>

Can anyone help me with this, I’m almost giving up using notepad ++, a tutorial on how to make it work …

http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php/Auto_Completion

C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\APIs\my.xml

<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“Windows-1252” ?>
<NotepadPlus>
<AutoComplete language=“C++”>
<Environment ignoreCase=“no” startFunc=“(” stopFunc=“)” paramSeparator=“,” terminal=“;” additionalWordChar = “.”/>
<KeyWord name=“abs” func=“yes”>
<Overload retVal=“int” descr=“Returns absolute value of given integer”>
<Param name=“int number” />
</Overload>
</KeyWord>
</AutoComplete>
</NotepadPlus>

The program does not carry this, it does not indicate, it does not show, absolutely nothing.

You can always use the descr part of the overload to describe anything about the function you want, for example that Param1 can only have certain values. Here is an example:

<KeyWord name="ARShiftU64" func="yes">
<Overload retVal="UINT64" descr="
INCLUDE: MdePkg/Include/Library/BaseLib.h

Shifts a 64-bit integer right between 0 and 63 bits. The high bits are filled
with original integer's bit 63. The shifted value is returned.

This function shifts the 64-bit value Operand to the right by Count bits. The
high Count bits are set to bit 63 of Operand.  The shifted value is returned.

RETURNS:
Operand >> Count

PARAMETERS:
Operand - The 64-bit operand to shift right.
Count   - The number of bits to shift right.
">
<Param name="IN UINT64 Operand" />
<Param name="IN UINTN Count" />
</Overload>
</KeyWord>
