Hi, I've been using Notepad++ for a couple of days. I'm a strong SciTE user, and I'm very impressed with what you've done. Notepad++ is much easier to use and configure.
However, creating my own languages (Actionscript 3 and Flex in this case) has been very, very difficult. I'm beginning to think it would have been easier in Scite.
The reason why, although not obvious at first, is that Scite lets you copy an existing language definition file and modify it. Your user defined languages feature is great for simple languages, but implementing an xml-based one (Flex) is all but impossible.
If I could start from the XML and HTML ones though, it would be much, much easier.
Is there any way you could use configuration files for ALL of the built in languages, and allow creating new languages simply by copying a file and importing a new one or adding a line to some other file, or something? I know you have the keywords in files right now, but that doesn't help me figure out how to get a blue background between <script> tags like in HTML, or to show me errors in formatting in xml.
Thanks!
