      Hi,

      I use Notepad++ for taking notes at office. Often, I find myself wanting to use // or /* */ to highlight text that I want to get to later or search.

      Is there a way I can achieve that without changing the language in style configurator?

      –Sadiq

        not quite sure if I understand correctly, but if you want to highlight text then select the text and use either the context menu->style token or the main menu search->markall->using X style.

          Thanks @Ekopalypse for getting back to me.

          What you mentioned does what I need kinda but need to automate that when for example I put text after // (for comments in C++) or between /* */ or maybe between <> to highlight specific/important text while taking notes.

          I hope that’s clear to what I previously wrote :)

            ok, then I think the easiest method would be to define
            a user-defined language and use its delimiter to make certain text colored.
