Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
Should I reply “חג שמח גם לך”? :)
Anyway, thanks for that too. -

Please update the 'readme.textfile`. It does not include activating the plugin through the Plugins Admin menu. I figured that out but not everyone is guaranteed to know that step is required.
After copying the .dll to the plugins folder:
-
Open the the Plugins menu and then open ‘Plugins Admin…’
-
Searching for HTML if there’s a long list (as there is for me)
-
Check the checkbox to the left of the plugin name in the list.
-
Click the “Install” button in the upper left.
notepad++ will restart and your plugin will then be activated and ready to be used.

Notes
- Since v1.2, 64-bit versions of HTMLTag require Notepad++ 8.3 or newer.
- Notepad++ 8.4 is not compatible with HTMLTag 1.2.1 or 1.2.2
HTMLTag is now free (as in Free Pascal)
1.3 will be the first version linked against Free Pascal’s open source runtime libraries.
The transition from Delphi’s proprietary runtime took longer than expected; I don’t recommend doing the same with other Object Pascal plugins, especially if they depend on Delphi’s Visual Component Library. That HTMLTag had no GUI was a lucky exception. Potential contributors will find that a command line and GDB are all that’s needed to get started.
To mark the milestone, the About dialog has been refreshed with clickable URLs and dynamic text revealing the path to the HTML entities configuration file. A missing file will be indicated by a red error message; when found, clicking will open it (in notepad.exe, unless you’ve hacked the Registry to make N++ the system’s default text editor):
No more load failures in 64-bit Notepad++
As confirmed here, all 64-bit versions of HTMLTag will load without fail in N++ 8.4.1 and later.

I was not notified of your last post. Just happened to see it.
v1.3.0 crashes NPP on going to the opening tag and on error.
Could you please have a look?Thank you for you work.

@yaron,
Was it a source build that crashed? I know the proposed upgrade to Scintilla 5.2.3 involves a scary-looking change to the builtin tag matcher, but it’s not been merged yet.For me, the x64 release DLL runs fine in the latest N++.
Notepad++ v8.4.2 (64-bit) Build time : May 29 2022 - 16:47:30 Path : C:\bin\npp_8.4.2_x64\notepad++.exe Command Line : $COMMAND_LINE_PLACEHOLDER$ Admin mode : OFF Local Conf mode : ON Cloud Config : OFF OS Name : Windows 11 (64-bit) OS Version : 21H2 OS Build : 22000.708 Current ANSI codepage : 1252 Plugins : HTMLTag (1.3) mimeTools (2.8) NppConverter (4.4) NppExport (0.4) -
[Edit] I think what you’re seeing is an infinite loop that freezes up the editor when you search for a non-existent closing tag. The application window fades with the “Not responding” message, correct?
It’s a regression from my attempt to fix a memory leak in the Unicode escape decoder. I’ll release a new version when it’s fixed.

Correct. That’s “on error”.
And the second case is: place the caret on a closing tag and “Find a matching tag”.I’ll release a new version when it’s fixed.
Great.
Many thanks. -
The latest build should be more stable.
-
Fixed.
Thank you. -
Note
Since v1.2, 64-bit versions of HTMLTag require Notepad++ 8.3 or newer.
1.3.6 is the first version that will survive the deprecation of Scintilla’s non-
*FULLAPIs. This comes with no loss of backward-compatibility with N++ versions older than 8.4.3.Using N++ 8.4.1 and newer in dark mode will dynamically change the style of About dialog:
Now that 7-zip has begun preserving the
Zone.Identifierfile attribute (as the builtin Windows utility has always done), the README has been updated with a guide to unblocking manually downloaded DLLs. Zipballs will no longer contain the (useless)HTMLTag.inifile. -
@rdipardo Hi, the site (https://bitbucket.org/rdipardo/htmltag/) unavailable. Can you send me the plugin or upload to other host, like Github?
Thanks.

It is available when I try it.

@Alan-Kilborn Possible that non available from Hungary? All pages from https://bitbucket.org domain crash, but Atlassian other pages, like Trello works fine.
Can you upload a zip and send me a link?
Thanks.

Are you in a geographic area that blocks access to certain domains? (If so, are you sure that — Microsoft’s — GitHub is on the whitelist?)
-
Have you tried installing the plugin with the Plugins Admin utility that comes with Notepad++?

-
Possible that non available from Hungary?
For what it’s worth, I can reach it without a problem from the Tor Browser while behind a Hungarian IP address.
-
@rdipardo Thanks, i reached it from mobile network. i do not understand why, but wired internet connection can not reach Bitbucket. WTF? :S Maybe our firewall blocked this domain (i no use user configured firewall, only that has in ASUS router)? I’ve never seen like this before.
-
Note to users — versions 1.3.5 - 1.3.6 are affected by a recent breaking change to N++'s graphics rendering subsystem. See my bug report for details and a temporary workaround.

A GitHub mirror is now online at https://github.com/rdipardo/nppHTMLTag

It seems Bitbucket recently put more of its web UI behind authentication, so anonymous bug reports are no longer possible. As backup, the GitHub mirror now has its own issue tracker.
If you’re using a released version (including the most recent 1.3.7), you’ll still be pointed to Bitbucket by clicking the “Bugs” hyperlink in the About dialog.
