Wow - I stumbled across NPPTextFXdemo.TXT, in \Notepad++\plugins\NPPTextFX, and found a lot of cool stuff!
I turned on auto-bracket and HTML tag auto-closing, and suddenly I have a much nicer N++ to work with! The biggest problem I see with TextFX is too many functions, and not enough documentation. Its daunting to dig through over 100 functions to see what might interest you -- and experimenting with every one is simply out of the question!
In fact, I think the main thing holding back the whole N++ project is the lack of a comprehensive .chm file for reference. Has some thought been given to a documentation project? I would like to contribute, but am reluctant to commit to getting the whole thing out.
Anyway, keep up great work.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
If you check the other forums, you'll see that a Wiki movement has started on the main Notepad++ page. There have also been discussions about starting similar for plugins.
I guess it's a hassle to keep the core Notepad++ documents up to date, but keeping up to date all plugins is impossible for one or even a few persons.
You have mentioned a .chm solution. Do you have experience in this field?
I think that the only way to have a relatively up to date documentation in to have it in a form that the community can contribute. Any suggestions on how to make this work?
Best,
