<![CDATA[How to disable txt syntax automatic checking?]]>I updated the notepad++, but after updating, notepad++ will automatically check the syntax.

For example, it will give a highlighted warning
“a name is started with an invalid charater”

but this is just a txt file, I don’t know why notepad++ check its syntax

I close the txt file and reopen it, now I cannot reproduce the issue.

But before that, if I just close notepad++ and reopen notepad++(not close txt file and reopen txt file), I got the issue every time.

In the bottom, it shows that it is a user defined language file, I don’t know why.

here is the screenshot, I don’t know where does the hightlight came from

Please show us from your menu: ? => Debug Info…

I suspect you may have XML Tools installed with some options checked that probably shouldn’t be.

If so, you probably want to DISABLE :

  • Plugins => XML Tools => Apply to all open files
  • Plugins => XML Tools => Enable Auto-validation

Cheers.

I don’t think this is just a txt file; what does it say on the left side of the Notepad++ status bar?

Telling us is OK, another screenshot is better.
