How to turn off autocompletion ?

    Hello to everyone,

    I'm using notepad++ for the first time and discovered it while looking for an editor for editing the StoreArea of TiddyWiki, an self contained .html file with which one is able to do amazing things. (http://www.tiddlywiki.com/)

    notepad++ is till now 'the' editor to do such things, due to its navigation abilities, and being pretty understandable for a non-developer like me. Many thanks for this very good piece of software.

    However, at the moment in my work with TiddyWiki I'm struggling to turn a kind of autocompletion off. TiddyWiki uses javascript and code to call other entries within entries, which look like (where 'tiddler' is TiddlyWiki's general name for an entry):

    <<tiddler tiddlername>>

    In this case notepad++ always adds unwanted a </tiddler> to it.

    I have tried to turn all autocompletion of a standard notepad++ installation with its custom plugins off. But to no avail. It still adds </tiddler> to tiddlers with a <tiddler> call.

    Does anyone know which settings I might have overseen, where I could turn this unwanted autocompletion off?

    Any hint would be greatly appreciated.

    Regards, wolfgang

      Thanks for the reply,

      Tryed it both, with 'html' and 'normal text'.

      However, now I realized this problem occurs only after viewing in Firefox 2.0.0.7 ! (Forgot to add: the macro call itself also changed from <<tiddler tiddlername>> to <<tiddler tiddlername="">>

      But in IE7 (I rarely use) there seems nothing added at the end, and the macro itself appears as <<TIDDLER sometiddler>> in tiddler edit mode. With an "Error in macro TIDDLER" massage in view mode. (While Firefox simple doesn't show anything of the <<tiddler sometiddler="">> in view
      mode)

      In this case it must be a browser specific error. But it's really strange, because after viewing the TW in Firefox and reloading it in notepad++ these changes always show up - without having saved them before while viewing with the browser.

      Also I tried to remove these changes with the editor SciTE - but even here, though this editor allegedly doesn't do autocompletion - these changes occur again. So it must be really a browser specific error.

      hmmm...

      what is the selection in the language menu when you are working (html, java etc?) I just tried and failed to reproduce this problem with a clean install of n++ 4.3
