<![CDATA[Notepad++ keeps messing up the colors of my user defined language]]>So I have a user defined language for a program called Abaqus, and many times notepad++ messes up the colors of it when I edit the document. In the first picture, line 195 is a comment line, and it starts with two stars ** and has a green color. In the same picture, line 184 has that same green color even though it is not a comment line. Now if I press “Language” in the menu, then choose “Abaqus” (which is the name of my language), I get the correct colors, as seen in the second picture.

I have uploaded the .xml file for the language here, if anyone wants to take a look:
Abaqus.xml (filebin.net)
