    Hello,

    I recently began using Notepad++, not for writing code but simply for entering miscellaneous text.

    Can someone explain how to do the following (or point me in a direction where I can learn)?

    1. create levels with sub-levels which can be collapsed (hidden) and expanded (un-hidden).

    2. define custom coloring schemes (i.e. define custom tags which result in the enclosed text changing to a specific color).

    Thanks

    Hello,
    you can do that with UDL:

    UDL stands for User Defined Language, it is a feature of Notepad++ editor through which users can define their own syntax highlighting.

    To open UDL in NPP++ v.6.2.0, go to: Language > Define your language…
    On how to use UDL, please, read at:
