User Defined Language files
There are some language files that you may need. Here're the instructions to install them :
1. Download the user-defined language to your computer
2. Open the file with your favourite text editor (such as notepad++ or notepad)
3. Click start, run, type (or paste in) %APPDATA%\Notepad++ then click ok
4. Open userDefineLang.xml with a text editor
5. If this is the first userdefined language you are adding, copy/paste the entire first file (which you downloaded) into the userDefineLang.xml, replacing all that was there. If this is the second or more language you add, simply copy everything from the first file starting at <UserLang...> to </UserLang> and paste it at the end of the userDefineLang.xml right before </NotepadPlus>
6. Save the newly improved userDefineLang.xml

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
1. You have made an error and put the userDefineLang.xml file in the NotePad++ installation folder and not in the Application Data folder. Make sure that you open the %APPDATA%\NotePad++ folder. There you should find the xml file there.
2. You have chosen not to use %APPDATA% when you installed NotePad++. In this case I am not sure where the userDefineLang.xml is located...

Johan

There are two alternatives:
1. You have made an error and put the userDefineLang.xml file in the NotePad++ installation folder and not in the Application Data folder. Make sure that you open the %APPDATA%\NotePad++ folder. There you should find the xml file there.
2. You have chosen not to use %APPDATA% when you installed NotePad++. In this case I am not sure where the userDefineLang.xml is located...

#2 is what I did, because I prefer my stylers.xml in the same folder as NPP.
If you have not used the %APPDATA% innstallation, this must be in the Notepad++.exe own directory, typically C:\Program Files\Notepad++\.
