It says NPP Export in the Plug-Ins menu, so I just call it that way, too, instead of Exporter.
I just start a new thread for the latest version.
I just tried the plug-in and it seems "promising".
The only bug I found on exporting a file to .rtf is that the last End-Of-Line (a LineFeed in this case), wasn't present in the exported file.

I've tried to use v 0.25, which comes with Notepad++, then version 0.26 (last)
And they are totally unusable with non-english files.
on UTF-8 file without BOM:
Notepad crashes after pressing the export button. Nothing happens.
After copying to clipboard non-english symbols are just missed.
on UTF-8 file with BOM:
I CAN save rtf or html file, but anyway all non-english letters are just missed.

Thats because afaik I cannot access the styling and the text from Scintilla if its UTF-8 (its either UTF-8 or ANSI internally). SO non-ANSI characters will always be missed.

Let me praise you ('cause the Lord won't) for your nice product.
I recently started using the WinHighlight Plug-In (www.andre-simon.de).
But this Plug-In has requires its own language and color style definitions.
I'm not saying that is bad, but it may take some more work, involve some incompatabilities and possibly be disappointing in contrast to expectations.
With the NPP Export Plug-In, it is possible to save an exported file anywhere. The WinHighlight Plug-In stores a file in the same folder as the source file. NPP Export Plug-In lets you choose the destination. Thumb up!
Next to that, NPP Export seems to export 100% (except the last EOL, *lol*) of what you _see_ in N++. It is a direct WYSIWYG export, requiring absolutely no additional actions. It does what has been requested before. I really like that, other thumb up!

I'm not sure where the newline issue comes from. The clipboard data is exactly the same as the file data. Putting one extra character after the last newline in the RTF output results in the viewer (OpenOffice and WordPad) displaying the newline, but its invisible if the newline is the last character. It may be some sort of optimisation or something like that. But its not anything critical since its the very last newline anyway =].
BTW, its indeed NPPExport, I mistyped it when I started the topic. It also isnt HTML only anymore.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
There is a bug with this extension. When I use "copy HTML to clipboard", it copies it in a strange way such that when I paste it on a rich text editor (e.g new message editor of Gmail) and send the mail, all the formatting (colours etc.) is lost.
I have:
Notepad++ v5.5.1 Unicode and
NPP Export v0.2.8
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
For me, nothing at all is copied to clipboard when selecting some text and clicking Copy HTML/RTF to clipboard. Copy all formats to clipboard only sends the plain text in.
However, the export functions work fine. Even if my using a clipboard manager interferes, it normally shouldn't - the manager works well with every other app I have ever used.

The last EOL is present when exported as .rtf to the Clipboard.
