color according to syntax language
-
I have tried to edit several files with the extension .ASP and the editor does not show the corresponding colors according to the type of instruction.
Can someone tell me if this feature still exists for ASP files? -
@Jorge-Rojas-V.: welcome to the notepad++ community forum:
Based on what you have described, I am assuming you have Notepad++ v7.7, and have not yet tried v7.7.1.
Notepad++ v7.7 has a known bug on ASP (and similar: JSP, PHP) highlighting. This has been mentioned several times in the forums:
- https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/17764/defined-asp-style-disappeared-after-7-7-install
- https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/17727/update-to-7-7-ver-and-missed-asp-code-style
- https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/17696/bug-problem-with-syntax-highlighting-not-working-on-asp-classic-scripts/12
And there were at least three issues opened for it:
- https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/5677
- https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/5702
- https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/5763
The issues claimed that the “next version” (relative to v7.7) should include the fixes.
Thus, you should try v7.7.1. If it still evidences the bug for you, please try downloading the “zip format” (ie, the portable copy) from the official download page, and see if it works. If the portable works, but the installed didn’t, then there’s probably a config file that you had customized, which isn’t letting the new settings through from the update-install. If that’s the case, let us know, and we can help you.
If you still need further help, it would help us help you if you would provide the Debug Info (go to Notepad++'s ? menu on the right of the menu bar, select Debug Info, and Copy debug info into clipboard, and paste that into your reply). The more relevant details you provide, the easier it will be for us to help you.
edit: fix typo
