Want to have both a light and dark theme for the languages you use often?
Me too! Perhaps you went so far as to have two styles.xml files, or created
a user defined language (which may have negated some of your folding). Well,
thanks to the external lexer you can make a copy of a languages lexing and
folding capabilities fairly easily. So thank you to the Notepad++, Scintilla,
and MyLexerTemplate creators for sharing! Unfortunately, there didn't seem
to be a simple how-to example anywhere; at least I couldn't find one. So
after lots of reading and rummaging around in files it slowly dawned on me
that it was easier than I was making it; and it is more than likely even
easier than this, but for others out there who may work in multiple lighting
conditions and want multiple styles and can't find a how-to...
Duplicating the C++ lexer...
Grab the source files:
- Latest Notepadd ++ source from the NPP downloads page (I used npp.5.0.src)
- MyLexerTemplate.zip source ( I used the link in this post:
https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=4899940
)
- Have a way to build them! VS2008 was used in this example
Extract the NPP source, then extract the MyLexerTemplate source and place
the MyLexerTemplate folder containing the source files within the cpp.5.0.src
folder so it is at the same level as the PowerEditor and scintilla.
(allow conversions if needed)
Open the notepadPlus.vc.7.0.vcproj
Add the SciLexer.vcproj to this project
Add the MyLexerTemplate.vcproj to this project
Build the notepadPlus.vc.7 project
Build the SciLexer project
In the MyLexerTemplate Property page for 'Linker' change the output file
name. (ExternalLexerCPP2.dll)
Open the MyLexerTemplate.def and change the LIBRARY name. ("ExternalLexerCPP2")
Open the MyLexerTemplate.cpp ( we have some editing to do... we're going
to duplicate the internal C++ lexer)
Add a header file for the MyLexerTemplate project (MyLexerTemplate.h - you
don't have to, but I like it that way)
In MyLexerTemplate.cpp cut from below the GPL notice to (and including) the
aboutDlg()
Wrap the pasted code with:
#ifndef MYLEXERTEMPLATE_H
#define MYLEXERTEMPLATE_H
<... Pated Code...>
#endif
In MyLexerTemplate.cpp:
Add #include "MyLexerTemplate.h" below the GPL notice
Edit PLUGIN_NAME, LEXER_NAME, and LEXER_DESC ("External Lexer C++", "C++
(2)", "C++ Source File)"
Edit the MessageBox text for aboutDlg() (Mine looks like the line below)
"External Lexer Template\nversion 1.0\nCopyright (C)2008 Kyle Fleming
( [EMAIL PROTECTED] )\n\nDuplicate of the internal C++ lexer.\nCopyright
1998-2005 by Neil Hodgson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\n\nCombined to enable multiple
styles for one language!\n2008\nAuthor: Thell Fowler ( [EMAIL PROTECTED]
)"
Add a line to indicate where the default template ended and where you're
pasting will begin similar to:
#ifdef LexCPP_Code_Below
// The below code block was duplicated from LexCPP.cxx
// Copyright 1998-2005 by Neil Hodgson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
// The License.txt file describes the conditions under which
this software may be distributed.
#endif
Find and open the Scintilla Lexer source file for the desired language
(LexCPP.cxx)
Copy everything below the SCI_NAMESPACE block and paste it at the bottom
of the MyLexerTemplate.cpp
-If you see LexerModule declarations at the bottom of the file comment them
out.
Determine the Scintilla Lexer style codes being used by looking for SCE_*
entries in the pasted code (SCE_C_*)
Open SciLexer.h and copy all of the SCE* entries for the desired language
(SCE_C_*)
In the MyLexerTemplate.h under #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN add // C++ Style
Types
Paste the entries into the header file under that line
Since the pasted code implements the highlighting and folding we need to
change the existing MyLexerTemplate code in a few places.
(Minimize all folds to make for less scrolling)
Note the Colorourise routine you pasted and change the 'ColouriseMyDoc'
declaration under the aboutDlg() to match it. (ColouriseMyDoc changed to
ColouriseCppDoc)
Do the same thing for the FoldMyDoc declaration (FoldMyDoc changed to
FoldCppDoc)
In the definition code for InternalLexorFold find the // call our "internal"
folder/lexer comment. Change the if/else statement to call the newly declared
names. (changed 'My' to 'Cpp' for both Fold and Colourise
Comment out the ColouriseMyDoc and FoldMyDoc definition code blocks. (Delete
them if you want.)
Our code is now setup, but we still need to add some includes needed by the
C++ lexer.
We find out which ones by troubleshooting till it works! It isn't too bad
though!
Try a build of MyLexerTemplate right now and receive errors for 'CharacterSet'
being undeclared.
Resolve this by looking in the LexCPP.cxx includes to see if something declares
CharacterSet. (CharacterSet.h)
Copy the include statement.
In the MyLexerTemplate.h file add the following between the #include
"WindowAccessor.h"
and void aboutDlg(); statements:
// LexCpp specific includes
#include "CharacterSet.h"
Try a build of MyLexerTemplate again and we receive an error about
ColouriseCppDoc
declared but not defined.
This means something is different between what was pasted in and what was
declared to be there.
Look at the declaration and look at the definition. See the 'bool
caseSensitive'
parameter in the definition? Add it to the declaration.
Try to build again and an error that ColouriseCppDoc function doesn't take
5 arguments.
We fix that by going back into the InternalLexOrFold code we changed in the
if/else statement and add our caseSensitive flag. (I added false to mine)
Build again and we are good to go!
Almost done! Now we need to edit the style.xml file for the copied language.
Open the MyLexerTemplate.xml in from the MyLexerTemplate\bin\config folder
Open the langs.xml file in your notepad++ folder and find the desired language
definition (name="cpp")
Copy from the the whole <Language> section and replace the MyLexerTemplate.xml
language section with it.
Do the same thing for the LexerType section using your stylers.xml file as
the source.
Edit both the Language and LexerType name to match the name entered for
'LEXER_NAME'
in MyLexerTemplate.cpp ("C++ (2)")
Edit the LexerType desc value ("C++ (2)")
Save the file as 'ExternalLexerCPP2.xml'
Copy the dll to the plugins folder (your application data plugins folder
will work)
Copy the xml to notepad++\plugins\config\ (don't know why yet, but the
application
data folder doesn't work here, but changes to styles)
Open Notepad++ and set your alternate style to your liking!
Share and enjoy!
That's all.
Thell
PS - If you know how to set the read location for the xml please share.

The particular file in question is the Summary.txt file created when I update
SQL-Server 2005 (has anyone else had trouble with kb948109?). It just puzzled
me that N++ couldn't read this particular file while Notepad and TextPad have
no problem. It appears to be a Unicode file, but I don't know which particular
encoding. N++ is usually so good, I was surprised that it fell at this hurdle.
Can anyone shed any light?

Thanks but this is an answer that brings no advantage to anyone.
< Perhaps the proper answer is "Don't use NP++ for really big files?"
< [...]
< NP++ is wonderful, but I don't believe there is a "one size fits all" editor
That might be often right but its also an easy excuse. For me notepad++ fits
for almost everything. I use Visual Studio on windows and Eclipse on Linux for
developing c/c++ but for everything else also viewing source files I use
Notepad++.
I use hexworkshop for interpret files thats right. But also this has a
limitation
where I like the plugin for Notepad++ very much (thanks Jens :) ).
I would be willing to work with others on changing the file management. First
good improvements were made on v5 but I hope more is possible. Im not so fast
in understanding source code written by others and also I dont want to waste
time in searching if the things I want to do are possible if there are others
that know this project much better (Don, Jens, Harry...)

set of keywords to syntax highlighter

I am very impressed with Notepad++ so I'm switching from UltraEdit which I've
been using for years, keep it up!
Anyway, I primarily write PHP and Javascript. In UltraEdit the syntax
highlighter
will do common function/variable/property names in a different color.
Javascript Example:
var test = new Array();
test.push('foo');
In the above example, I would like:
var to be blue - operator
new to be green - alternate operator
Array to be red - object
push to be orange - function
I have the lists of words I want, but I can't get the syntax highlighter to
do them.. I've spent hours modifying stylers.xml and langs.xml to no avail.
Can anyone help me get this working? I'd like to do similar for PHP (e.g.
str_replace
in orange).
stylers.xml:
<LexerType name="javascript" desc="Javascript" ext="">
<WordsStyle name="DEFAULT" styleID="41" fgColor="000000"
bgColor="FFFFFF"
fontName="" fontStyle="0" fontSize="" />

<WordsStyle name="WORD" styleID="46" fgColor="000000"
bgColor="FFFFFF"
fontName="" fontStyle="0" fontSize="" />
<WordsStyle name="KEYWORD" styleID="47" fgColor="0000FF"

<WordsStyle name="OPERATOR KEYWORD" styleID="53" fgColor="008040"

<WordsStyle name="TYPE WORD" styleID="16" fgColor="FF0000"

bgColor="FFFFFF" fontName="" fontStyle="0" fontSize="" />
<WordsStyle name="COMMENTDOC" styleID="44" fgColor="008080"
bgColor="FFFFFF" fontName="" fontStyle="0" fontSize="" />
</LexerType>
langs.xml:
<Language name="javascript" ext="js" commentLine="//" commentStart="/*"
commentEnd="*/">
<Keywords name="instre1">var ...</Keywords>
<Keywords name="instre2">new ...</Keywords>
<Keywords name="type1">Array ...</Keywords>
<Keywords name="type2">push ...</Keywords>-->
</Language>
I don't understand why this won't work, but that's probably because I don't
know how the highlighter works...
Thanks!
Colin

I would prefer it if you posted this before any release, so updated translations
can be included with the setup. I also would like an option to switch language
from within the program.

Well, here's the official answer for your question : we don't really know up
to how many MB notepad++ is able to open a file - it depends on the amount of
available memory in your system.
The current implementation to open a file is loading whole file into Notepad++
- which makes sure the syntax highlighting won't be interrupted.
Handling a important size of file needs a more sophisticated method to
synchronize
view and loading of a part of file.
It means also that some existing features will be sacrificed, for example syntax
highlighting.
This issue is taken into account in the Notepad++ future evolution - if we have
enough time and if there's no technical impact.
Don

Sure. But it is more a restriction of the OS then of the memory because 4gb
in my case is more then enough.

I hoped for a more technical discussion. If I think more about syntax
highlighting
I could think of problems you direct to. They should be handlable (but I know
too less about the way scintilla does this).
Wont it possible until the point this change will find a way into the code
to produce an error message instead a bad crash?
