      @MAPJe71 has a comprehensive list of function lists for different languages here

        Thanks for the answer.
        But its still not working.
        I copied the 43 lines of vb-3.0.FL.xml to an empty file, renamed it to vb.xml and copied the file to the functionlist folder, where the other xml files are located.
        What did I wrong?

        best regards

            @Diedrich-Hesmer said in Functionlist no longer working on .vb files:

            What did I wrong?

            Did you remember to exit all copies of Notepad++ and restart Notepad++ after putting that file in the right location? Because Notepad++ won’t re-read the configuration files until you restart.

            Are you sure it got saved as vb.xml and not vb.xml.txt?

              It looks like the parsers tag was removed. I’m currently trying
              to find out when this happened.

                Seems this has been introduce with version 7.9.1.

                  @Ekopalypse ,

                  Correct, the new syntax doesn’t include the <parsers> tag wrapped around the <parser> tag anymore.

                  The file you posted works:
                  30c5c1aa-bec1-4459-80fb-0f39c6bc9fca-image.png

                  Hmm, looks like the documentation for Function List and especially function list section of config files could use slight improvement to make it more clear that you don’t need the <parsers>...</parsers> with v7.9.1 and newer.

                    The new solution seems not cover lexer plugins.
                    I was trying to use

                    <association id= "v.xml"		langID= "86"/>
                    

                    or

                    <association id= "v.xml"				userDefinedLangName="VLang"/>
                    

                    But both failed. Technically lexer plugins do get an unique ID
                    assigned but this varies depending how much lexer plugins you are using.
                    So … any ideas?
                    I assume I have to open an issue.

                      Did you remember to also update the overrideMap.xml? For default builtin lexers, the overrideMap defaults to a reasonable value (shown in comments); but for any others (like UDL and presumably lexer plugins), you have to update the overrideMap.

                          Sorry, I should have clarified that these changes were made in overrideMap.xml.

                            These overrideMap customizations work for me

                            			<!-- ==================== Peter's Customizations ============================ -->
                                        <association id= "my_perl.xml"			langID= "21" />
                            			<association id= "udl_markdown.xml"		userDefinedLangName="Markdown"/>
                            			<association id= "udl_cadence.xml"		userDefinedLangName="Cadence"/>
                            			<!-- ======================================================================== -->
                            

                            The first overrides where the default perl (#21) file is named. The other two are for UDL maps.

                            So what you showed does look like the syntax you should use. Maybe a bug in the implementation that doesn’t allow for plugin-based lexers to work with functionList?

                              I am currently assuming this is the case, but am struggling to really understand the code. Will have to check this further.
