Hi,
I would like to know if is there an plugins which is able to do pretty print for shell/bash?

I have the 64-bit x64 Version installed.

The following plugins are able to do it for these languages:

• JSON
  • JSON Viewer
  • JSTool
• XML
  • XML Tools

Do you know further plugins?

Thank you in advance.

@blueicehaller ,

I do not know of such a plugin directly.

However, as a workaround: using the NppExec plugin, you can call any external pretty-print program and have it filter the contents of the active Notepad++ file through that pretty-print and back into Notepad++. @Michael-Vincent shares an example script that does it for C, HTML, Perl, and Python in this post. So if you know of an external command-line utility that pretty-prints shell/bash, then you can use it in conjunction with the NppExec plugin to pretty-print inside of Notepad++.
