    Hallo,

    I program a lot in 6502 assembly. I still use WordPerfect Office Editor from 1987 but want to switch to N++. Assembly is supported as Language but I want to add my own dedicated to 6502 ( and later Z80 and 6809). I downloaded and read the UserLangDefineManual.pdf and Notepad++.UserManual.pdf but didný understand both manuals :( The screens shown in the first one seems to be of an older version because they don't match screens I see in V4.8.1.

    I already hacked the langs.xml file to add my own definition but that didn't show up in the menu. I expected that because this file didn't show language menu in one or another form. Styler.model.xml does but changing it and later renaming it to styler.xml didn't help either. Creating a userDefineLang.xml didn't help either.

    Can anybody help or point me to a better help file?

    Thank you ver much!

    Groetjes, Ruud

      > %APPDATA\Notepad++\userDefineLang.xml

      That's what I did, didn't help either.

      Using another language helps, but Using ADA for Z80, for example, doesn't look as good as Z80 or 6502 :(

      Thanks anyway!

      Groetjes, Ruuud

      I was having the same problem with a different set of files.

      It seems that the location of the userDefineLang.xml has changed
      It now should be at:
      %APPDATA\Notepad++\userDefineLang.xml

      Hope that helps

      If it doesn't work, try creating a language with the same name as the one you're trying to add:
      Open the User Defined Language Dialog (the button's just to the left of the record button) and create a new one
      Then, browse to the location above and paste your language into the userDefineLang.xml and restart Notepad++
