Syntax Highlighting Styles

As more options become made available for syntax highlighting styles, moving them out of being embedded in this page into their own subpages would seem appropriate. Does anyone know if it's possible to create subpages that are also files? If not, it would be trivial to embed them into the subpages created for them, but ideally they should be available as files to download.

Default Style

Currently, the default style (the only one currently on the page) does not match the style for syntax highlighting used on the wiki. Would anyone object if I were to alter the styling of this file to match what is used on the wiki?

Syntax Highlighting : Comments

Syntax highlighting doesn't seem to work for multiline comments bounded by SEMICOLON SLASH and SLASH SEMICOLON. Only the first line is displayed as a comment. Does anyone know how to fix this? Proleric 04:13, 6 May 2012 (EDT)

If I remember correctly, Notepad++'s custom language definitions only allow for a single set multi-line comment delimiters, which in this case is already used by curly brackets - {} - for documentation comments. It might be possible to add the non-documentation multi-line comment delimiters though, I'm not sure. I expect if that were done it would be possible to start a comment with one set and end it with another, and they'd have to use the same styling, but that's a small price to pay if it means being able to easily use non-documentation multi-line comments with correct syntax highlighting.

There is a very serious bug in the Syntax Highlighting XML code which makes notepad++ unable to import. Back on the 10th of February at 5:45 it was good. I can't track down who and when break it. --VikMorroHun (talk) 21:47, 29 September 2012 (EDT)

The import function is broken. Instead, if the file userDefineLang.xml exists in the Notepad++'s installation folder, or in %AppData%\Roaming\Notepad++ folder (depending of your setup), just append the xml code to the end of file. If it doesn't exist, save the provided code under a file named userDefineLang.xml either in the installation foder, either in %AppData%\Roaming\Notepad++ folder (try first with the install folder, if it doesn't work then try with the %appdata% folder and it should work).
