PureSyntax_Notepad++.exe generates a syntax file for Notepad++ in the xml format.
Functionnames (incl. UserLibs) are determined by use of the PB-Compiler.
Sourcecode included.
Download
Feedback welcome

Notepad++ 5.8.6 Unicode. WinXP 32bit.

Maybe you didn't create the language file correctly, it works here without problems.

Hi,
thanks for sharing
(especially the code 
)
I tested it and found the following:
-
ElseIf is missing in Wordlist2
- the
"- bondaries are not assigned
(though working), as the quotes need to be in html-syntax and terminated twice:
change:
<Keywords name="Delimiters">"00"</Keywords>
to:
<Keywords name="Delimiters">"00"00</Keywords>
-
" must be an active operator as well, otherwise the folding and highlightings are corrupted after e.g.:
("Open File",GetPathPart(CurrentFile),"Text files|"+TextExt+"|All files|*.*",0)
until the same
'error' occures the next time. You may test this:
Code: Select all
Macro OpenTextFile()
If AskSaveFile()
fname.s = OpenFileRequester("Open File",GetPathPart(CurrentFile),"Text files|"+TextExt+"|All files|*.*",0)
If fname : LoadFile(fname) : EndIf
EndIf
EndMacro
if you like to enhance the folding, make sure that the folding -+ keywords are not listed in the wortdlist-2 as well, otherwise they won't work.

I too have no problem with this generated xml in the new unicode version. Have you used any userHighlighter before? Maybe it helps opening the internal np-styler and changing something to provoke a fresh saving/rewriting.

Tried everything now, including your tip Vera. Uninstall-reinstall. Thought I was on to something there as Revo Uninstaller revealed a lot of app data files remain after uninstall. So, starting from a clean sheet, installed Notepad++, ran the ts-soft app, useDefinedLang.xml is installed directly into the np++ folder. Run np++, User-Defined is listed in the language menu but does nothing. All the built-in languages work.

You have to create the new language definition and save it. Look in the notepad++ help under 'user defined language'. It explains how to use the user-defined dialogue from the toolbar to do this.

thx for feedback
Hint to Installation:
View / User-Defined Dialogue... / Import... is the easiest.
If you have a old pb-syntaxfile or update:
View / User-Defined Dialogue... / Select language / Remove before installation.
After Installation:
Open *.pb and
Language / PureBasic (this is only ones required)
@Vera
thx for bugreport, i am on it.

Hi,
The boundaries appear allright now.
Btw: did you know that NP overwrites your neat xml-style
- like I already suggested for
" (quote), I would also suggest to add
, (comma) as activated operator. This is the only way
(in np) to make these characters work as highlight-delimiters. The following example shows the difference if s.o. doesn't use blanks:
DisplayPopupMenu(#contextMenu,WinHandle,WindowX(#mainWin)+100,WindowY(#mainWin)+100)
DisplayPopupMenu(#contextMenu, WinHandle, WindowX(#mainWin)+100, WindowY(#mainWin)+100)
@ IdeasVacuum
After reading the last postings I realize that you use the install version where the
settings.xmls need to be under appdata. In case you'll ever want a version to run portable just place an empty
doLocalConf.xml into the app-folder and supply your settings.xmls there as well.

Is not my neat xml-style, this is the stringtranslation for xml in purebasic

Update:
+ Hexnumbers supported
+ set Consolas as default font on win-vista and higher
+ create optional a autocomplete file! *
* you have to enable the autocomplete feature in the settings of notepad++
save the "purebasic.xml" to:
Code: Select all
Debug GetEnvironmentVariable("ProgramFiles") + "\Notepad++\plugins\APIs"
