      Hello everyone, my name is Sanjeev Mansotra. How can I enable syntax highlighting for a custom programming language in NPP?
      Can Notepad++ handle large file comparisons efficiently, or should I use another tool for very large files?
      Thank you in advance!

        How can I enable syntax highlighting for a custom programming language in NPP?

        Custom programming languages in Notepad++ use the User Defined Language (“UDL”) feature. This is described in-depth in the Online User Manual’s User Defined Language documentation.

        Can Notepad++ handle large file comparisons efficiently

        Notepad++ does not natively handle comparisons. Using the plugin called ComparePlus you can do comparisons. It depends on your definition of “very large files” and your definition of “efficiently” whether it will meet your needs or not; we cannot answer that for you.
