Overview

This project provides a very simple user-defined language file for Notepad++ that does some basic syntax highlighting for Markdown texts. It does not render text from Markdown into HTML (but there are scripts that can do that, too, Google is your friend).

Usage

Notepad++ allows you to add new languages by adding language definitions to a userDefineLang.xml file. Add the Markdown definition like this:

  1. Download the Markdown language definition file userDefineLang.xml from GitHub to your computer.
  2. Click Start > Run, and type (or paste in) %APPDATA%\Notepad++, then click OK. This will open the settings directory for Notepad++.
  3. If it does not already exist, copy the downloaded userDefineLang.xml file into the Notepad++ settings directory. Skip to step 7.
  4. If it does exist, open the active userDefineLang.xml with a text editor.
  5. Copy the contents of the Markdown definition file between the <UserLang...></UserLang> tags into the active userDefineLang.xml, at the end right before </NotepadPlus>.
  6. Save userDefineLang.xml.
  7. Restart Notepad++.
