New update: WeiDU Highlighter for Notepad++ 3.15

Note: For technical reasons this release is only available from GitHub.

Changes:

• Added new TP2 keywords introduced by WeiDU 247
• Added several missing TP2 keywords
• Added more symbols and keywords to BAF, D and TP2
• Added more internal TP2 variables
• Removed syntax folding from TP2
• Fixed ambiguous coloring of several TP2 keywords
• Internal cleanups

Seems you forgot to include the new DEFINE_DIMORPHIC_FUNCTION keyword.

Seems you forgot to include the new DEFINE_DIMORPHIC_FUNCTION keyword.

It's there and it works for me. Do other additions like RESOURCE_CONTAINS or METADATA work?

Maybe the import operation didn't work properly. Try removing and re-adding the TP2 highlighter.

[Gwendolyne]

They did not work.

In fact, it seems Notepad++does not like when you remove and add more than one highlighter at once. I remove them one by one (exiting after each removal), then imported them one by one (exiting after each importation). And it works now.

Yeah, the language importer in Notepad++ could be improved. I usually remove all old highlighter versions, close N++, restart N++ and import the new highlighter versions. It worked well so far for me.

[Gwendolyne]

I found another issue: it is impossible to fold-unfold blocks.

Comparing WeiDU_TP2.xml v3.15 with v3.14, the following lines have disappeared:

 

<Keywords name="Folders in code2, open">BEGIN ALWAYS QUICK_MENU WITH IF_EXISTING ON_DISABLE ON_MISMATCH LAUNCH_ACTION_FUNCTION LAUNCH_FUNCTION_ACTION LAF LAUNCH_PATCH_FUNCTION LAUNCH_FUNCTION_PATCH LPF &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;</Keywords>
<Keywords name="Folders in code2, middle"></Keywords>
<Keywords name="Folders in code2, close">END &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;</Keywords>

I am using Notepad++ v7.7.1 32bits (because I need one plugin not available for later versions).

I removed folding from TP2 (see changelog) because it never worked well enough for me to be useful. I can add it again if someone actually uses it.

[Gwendolyne]

Oops! I did not notice this changelog line.

 

Even if it was not 100% efficient (mainly with BEGIN END ELSE loops), I found it very convenient when working with large libraries (such as IA ones). I might do it myself if it is not difficult to achieve. Would a copy-paste from v3.14 folder lines do the trick?

[Argent77]

Yes, copying the two "Folders in code2" lines is enough. I have already made the changes in the devel branch of the project.

[Gwendolyne]

Thanks! You saved my life.

Thanks for the update Argent77!

 

Even after deleting the old XML files, I couldn't get Notepad++ to delete/forget all of the old WeiDU_* user defined languages.  The solution was to go to the

%appdata%\Notepad++

folder and delete "userDefineLang.xml".  I could then add the new ones as described in readme.txt.

[Argent77]

I also had some trouble this time. There were some garbage characters left in the font name fields of the languages which resulted in the editor using the ugly Courier New font for several highlighting groups. I had to manually clean it up in %appdata%\Notepad++\userDefineLang.xml. It looks like there is still room for improvement for Notepad++.

I forgot to mention: I also experimented that. When removing WeiDU highlighters, this file always keeps track of the last one. So it is impossible to really remove it. The only way to get rid of the last highlighter after removing it in the User language menu is to delete this file.

Thanks Argent77! Are you considering color compatibility with any of the NPP dark color schemes?

I haven't used dark color schemes in Notepad++ yet, but I can certainly experiment with them. Changing colors is rather trivial (in theory) since the actual syntax definitions don't have to be touched.

It would certainly be nice if your colors accounted for standard Dark Mode -> Black. I haven't used this release, but used 3.15 and it's kinda hard on the eyes.
