<p dir="auto">These api-files can serve as a base for built-in help for language methods. If someone thread will fill them in and make the interface in the form of a tree and a text field.<br />
<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/trdm/jn-npp-scripts/master/Doc/built-in_help_exam.gif" alt="alt text" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /><br />
And I would make a plugin with this interface.<br />
There is only one detail: not everyone understands English and it is desirable to distribute api files to directories with translations.<br />
Like “Api \ ru”, “Api \ fr”, etc.</p>

<p dir="auto">Not yet.  Somebody would have to go through the effort of adding those, and submitting an issue and Pull Request to the codebase, to try to get that implemented.</p>
<p dir="auto">But as <a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/troshindv" aria-label="Profile: TroshinDV">@<bdi>TroshinDV</bdi></a> says (translated)</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">you can clone the repository <a href="https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus" rel="nofollow ugc">https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus</a><br />
and edit the javascript.xml in the directory:<br />
<a href="https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus" rel="nofollow ugc">https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus</a> / tree / master / PowerEditor / installer / APIs<br />
to enable “autocompletion function parameters”.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">So that’s the way you would do it, if you wanted to contribute your solution to the entire userbase.  Clone, edit, submit issue, submit pull request linked to that issue.</p>
<p dir="auto">For your own use, you don’t have the clone the repository.  All you have to do is edit your local <code>c:\program files\notepad++\autoCompletion\javascript.xml</code></p>
<p dir="auto">But again, until someone is willing to go through the extra effort involved to get it into the codebase, it won’t be available by default to the normal user.  A few months back (7 months now!!! it might have felt like a slow year as it progressed, but looking back, it’s still disappearing), I finally decided that Perl needed someone’s effort; since no one else had stepped forward, I decided to do it.  I downloaded Perl documentation that listed all of the builtin functions with their parameter options; then I used Notepad++'s regex search-and-replace to translate those into valid AutoComplete XML, then I made sure it worked in my local Notepad++, then I submitted the issue+PR (actually, I forgot to include an issue, which sometimes prevents the PR from being accepted, but I was fortunate).  If someone followed a similar procedure for javascript, it could be made available to everyone.</p>

<p dir="auto">вы можете клонировать репозитарий <a href="https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus" rel="nofollow ugc">https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus</a><br />
и отредактировать javascript.xml в директории:<br />

что-бы иметь возможности “autocompletion function parameters”.</p>
