Actually, I did a simple test :

First, I slightly changed the fgColor of these 3 sections below :

Then I re-started N++
I opened a new file
I selected the Mathematica UDL language
I pasted the last keyword of the Keywords1, Keywords2 and Keywords3 sections. So, the text :

GeneratedParameters

PointSize

$VersionNumber

And, as expected, these 3 commands, were highlighted in blue, green and red colors ;-))

Cheers,

Hello, @fraw-farewell, @peterjones,

Here is, below, the modified version of the UDL file for Mathematica. I simply rewrote all terms with the exact case, as it is, for instance, in the userDefinedLang-markdown.default.modern.xml UDL file for MardDown language !

After starting N++, you should see the Mathematica language, at the end of the drop-down list, when clicking on Language

IMPORTANT :

In order to keep my post’s size under 16384 bytes, I simply omit all the keywords in Keywords1, Keywords2 and Keywords3 sections. Of course, just re-paste these 3 keywords list, respectively ;-))



    
        
            
            
        
        
            
            
            
            
            
            
            
            
            & _ , := = [ ] { } ( ) :> - > < + @ / ; | . ~ ! ? * ^ % '
            
            
            
            
            
            
            
            
            
            
                
                
                
            #
            :
            ::
            
            
            00" 01 02" 03(* 04 05*) 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23

Note that since I do not know the Mathematica language and I do not have any appropriate source text, I did not go any further to test this UDL language !

Best Regards,

guy038

I don’t know exactly what was wrong with the original: well, it included comments, and accidentally included the markdown ``` … so those weren’t valid. But even after I did that, it was doing strange things, where the UDL would load, but it would color the text black-on-black and worse.

I started over from scratch, and then started copying the keyword lists, etc. I thought maybe it was because there were ~19000 bytes in each of the three main keyword lists from the original; I split it into 5 keyword lists, with ~12000 bytes in each. That modified mma.udl.xml seems to work – it properly loads, and applies syntax-colors to a Mathematica file I downloaded (though I don’t know if it’s a reasonable color scheme).

Mathematica has a lot of keywords/functions!

(Also, I am not sure why the original kept each of :, ::, and # as separate keyword categories… I tried looking up what those do in mathematica… and they do different things, but don’t seem any more wildly different than other operators from each other. I kept them separate in mine as well, though if they could be combined with something else, I could have gotten down to fewer words per keyword category. )

Nope, sorry, there’s an error in the file somewhere, so it won’t load/import… let’s see if I can figure out how to clean it up.

Using wayback machine to follow links and find old versions of files that no longer exist, I was able to dig up the mma.udl.xml from 2013, which I uploaded to pastebin. No idea if that matches what was linked in 2016, but it’s a starting place.

Unlike was mentioned in 2016, you don’t have to use the “import” button anymore; you can just save mma.udl.xml into your %AppData%\Notepad++\userDefineLangs folder, and reload Notepad++.
