Good Morning. I'm a new user as Notepad++ has become the preferred tool for the web design classes at the college where I teach. It appears that the tool does not recognize the html5
<main> tag for syntax highlighting. Is this on an enhancement list somewhere? Or perhaps there is a setting I haven't run across yet to enable HTML5 specific highlighting? Thanks for a great tool, I'm looking forward to some good experimenting sessions as I learn more about using it.</main>

It's possible to add keywords yourself by editing langs.model.xml in the directory where N++ is installed (probably C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++). Look for "Language name="html"".

Thank-you Andreas and Don! I will let my students know on both items! :)
edit: Andreas - there must be a little more to it because I edited the xml file you referenced and inserted main in alpha order between longdesc and map, saved the file and then restarted NPP but still no recognition of the
<main> tag when editing an html file. Interesting...</main>

Since upgrading I am having an issue with Global Font Override in Style Configurator. Changes I make to colours etc. ARE saved however any changes I make to the font ARE NOT saved for some reason. This means every time I close Notepad++ and then reopen it I have to change the font back to the one I use.
Ideas on how to fix this, I have tried re-installing with the APPDATA tick box selected however this did not work.

I don't get connection to that, what the prog tries to open them with that shitty Internet Explorer.
Where's the option to choose the browser that I want to use?
Another question: Who did this german translation, where many things are NOT translated ?
And since years I'm waiting for an option to show the two editor windows not one beside the other but the second UNDER the first so that I can better compare them.
There's more to say but's enough for the moment.

It's interesting to see that this thread has no comments so far. Are there not enough new features or fixes to generate comments? My biggest wish has not been included, alas (reread a changed file only when it gets focus).

FYI, since this update, the Explorer plugin is... not broken, but distracting. Instead of the usual "file" icons for each file, there are just big black boxes where the file icons should be. Not all files, but I have noticed it with .asp and .js files, which are the vast majority of the files I work with.
Since updating to this version I'm getting an intermittent crash. Not sure you'd really consider it a bug with npp though, as it only happens while my system is under unusual stress (not typical, and not often).
If it is something that should be investigated further, let me know what you need.
Just upgraded to 6.9.9 and I am having difficulty with a few things.
If I do Ctrl+Shift+F to do a "Find in Files" search, I am then unable to right click on anything after that and I also seem to lose my ability to do additional searches after that.
If I close the program and start over, everything works again.

Specifically, I was trying to highlight text and then right click the text to access the Plugin Commands menu option. When I right clicked on the highlighted text, nothing happened.

UPDATE: I don't seem to be having this problem at work with 6.6.9 on the same laptop with different monitors (and without the external display adapter that I had at home). I was also remoted into a work server from home when I had this issue. Thinking that one of those two factors may have been causing my issue.
I will continue to play with things to see if I can replicate the issue, but feel free to delete this thread for now.
Many Thanks.

Hello,
I use Notepad++ for a long time and I met several times the same bug/problem with new releases (sorry, I don't remember the version numbers) : the "preferences/new document" Encodage UTF-8 without BOM is not respected (saved with prefs ?) when creating a new file, whatever extension you choose. It's ennoying when coding web pages (if you omit to change the encodage by the menu...) especially with PHP scripts.
This apart, I'm a real fan of this tool, I always recommended it to my students.
Hope this problem will be corrected soon,
best regards

I have another weird issue that popped up after I upgraded to 6.6.9.
The ASCII block characters in some of my batch files are showing up weird in Notepad++. They still show up properly in other editors like Notepad. The really weird part is that not all of my files that contain these block characters are having this issue. Only some of the batch files are showing this issue and the others display perfectly. :/
When I run the batch files, they display properly, but this is kind of unnerving when seeing this in the editor, especially since it is only happening with certain files.
For the attached picture, in your post, I presume that your batch file is opened in Notepad++, with a wrong encoding !
Look at the right of the status bar, at the bottom of Notepad++ window : I bet that the present encoding should be TIS-620. It's a Thai encoding ! ( Menu option Encoding - Characters Sets - Thai - TIS-620 )
Just choose the default ANSI encoding Menu option Encoding - Encode in ANSI to find again the right displaying ! It's also the default encoding used by the Window notepad editor.
Depending of the country you live in and from your picture, I deduced that the real character set, used in your N++ configuration ( and by Windows, for all your NON Unicode programs ) should be :
Windows-1252 ( Western Europe )
Windows-1254 ( Turkey )
Windows-1258 ( Vietnam )
Am I right ?
By the way, for your batch files, you would better use a Windows 0EM Code Page ( instead of a Windows ANSI Code Page )
To get the encoding, used in a DOS Console windows
Execute a usual command cmd.exe
Type the DOS command chcp and valid by Enter
DOS give you the code of the current DOS encoding : it should be 850 or 857 ?
Then, use that specific encoding for your batch files, in N++ : Menu option `Encoding - Character Sets - ..... and choose the right OEM encoding.
The nice thing is that the different commands ECHO are displayed, in the same way, when the batch file is executed OR edited in N++ ( especially all the pseudo-graphic characters ) !

You were correct, the encoding for some of my files was getting randomly set to TIS-620. Not sure why, since I was just opening and editing them normally.
I am actually in the U.S. and CHCP returns 437 which I do not see under Encoding->Character Sets.
However, Western European->OEM 850 does show the special characters the way that they would appear in a CMD window. That is very cool and very useful for me.
You guys may want to see if there is possibly a bug that is causing the encoding to get switched around on certain files. Some of my files were using ANSI, some were using TIS-620 and yet others were using UTF8 w/o BOM. ????
Thanks Guy038! :)

The Python parser in the function list have two problems.
1.The class, defined like the following, will not be found
Because, there is a space between the "classname" and the "(".
2.Python classes without methods be ignored
.
You can use the original python zipfile module for testing these problems!
For the first problem exist a solution:
Change the 'nameExpr' in the 'className' from
to
.
The second problem is unresolved!
Thanks!

What do you mean by "unable to right click on anything"?
Could you provide the list of plugins installed?

Sorry that was pretty vague of me. lol

Hi Comperseus
Just click on the link below :
https://sourceforge.net/p/notepad-plus/discussion/331754/thread/91dbaf6f/#9ff2
And..., in this new thread, click, again, on the proposed link !
Then, at the end of this final post, try a possible solution to prevent N++ from choosing wrong encodings for certain files -:)
May be, this solution will help you !
Cheers,
guy038
P.S. :
BTW, the default American OEM encoding 437, is named OEM-US, in N++ ( Menu Encoding - Character Sets - Western European )
