Notepad++ offers nice syntax colouring. I would like to have a feature that will format text according to the language that I select from a list of languages. E.g. I have pasted TypeScript code in the editor as plain text. Then I select TypeScript from the list of languages, and my text will be coloured and formatted automatically at the same time.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thx for the reply.</p>

<p dir="auto">See my longer answer to you <a href="https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/post/105386">here</a>.</p>
<p dir="auto">I’m not sure why you started a new Topic when you were already participating in a Topic about exactly the same thing, and when there was a Topic created 5 days ago that was essentially the same thing.  (Also, naming a Topic “feature request” is not helpful to people looking through the titles of the recent posts, because it tells them <em>nothing</em> about the contents of said feature request.  Titles should be meaningful if you want meaningful discussion.)</p>
<p dir="auto">Also, since I’m not sure you’ve seen it, <a href="/topic/15741">our new feature FAQ</a> explains that, while we can talk about ideas all we want in this Community of Notepad++ <strong>users</strong>, it isn’t an official Feature Request until you follow the instructions in that FAQ to post the Feature Request to the official Issues tracker for the project.</p>

<p dir="auto">Formatting aka beautifying is probably best handled by an external utility (that does that function) which can be bound to a <em>Run</em> menu item in Notepad++, or possibly (via scripting) something that happens automatically upon each save.</p>
