Hi,
This is a question, not a bug report.
First of all I would like to thank/congratulate you for developing this featureful editor. It opens in a jiffy and is very useful!
Is there a way to add syntax highlighting for a new programming language without recompiling Notepad3 ?
Regards,
Akshay
Hello @aks2161989,
sorry, there is no way to add a new programming language syntax highlighting to Notepad3 w/o adding necessary program code to Notepad3 (and recompile).
Things to do:
There is a request to add a "generic" lexer to Notepad3 (#1135) with a configurable syntax/style definition, like Notepad++ has, but we don't have this yet.
@aks2161989 : which programming language syntax highlighting are you missing ?
Hello @aks2161989 ,
As far as I'm concerned, I think you (as requester) can close this issue...
@RaiKoHoff Thank you for the clear instructions. You have solved my doubts.
Regards.
