<![CDATA[Applying a style to specific areas of a file.]]>I’m using NP++ to create a worksheet (list of tasks) and the idea is to embed lines called hint lines if I get stuck with any of the tasks listed. What I want to know is can I apply a style to just the hint lines so they are not visible i.e. make the text and background the same colour, until I highlight them. I can do this in Word but much prefer using NP++ so any help is appreciated.

the easiest solution would be to define your own language and define, for example, the comment to have the same fore- and background color. Of course this means, that
your hints must always start with the defined comment char.
