Syntax highlighting of Celestia Catalogs in Notepad++

[Chuft-Captain]

Just a question I wonder now: what Notepad++ version do you use? Mine is the 5.9.

I think... 5.6.8 or something like that. (I haven't upgraded Notepad++ for some time now.)

A note:

Regarding installation in Windows 7:
In Win 7, the "userDefineLang.XML" file can be found in: "...\Users\...[your Username]...\AppData\...\Notepad++"
(assuming you've created at least 1 user defined language already.)

and a warning:

Don't "DOCK" the user-defined-dialog in Win7... I found that once docked, none of it's buttons responded (including the UNDOCK button), and had to re-install.

Well, I like this Syntax Highlighting very much and I'm using it quite a while now.
Thanks CC for your efforts here.

I have done nothing for CELX files as they are probably reasonably well serviced by the LUA language syntax already provided with NOTEPAD++.
However it might be worth adding specific celX keywords in the future (ie. the non LUA elements)

Indeed, I should appriciate the adding of specific CELX keywords.
The Lua language does a bit, but when mixed with CELX, my opinion, it's not consistent enough.
Mixed highlighting within CELX methods, just because certain keys are known and most not.
I'm trying to figger it out a bit how this XML works, but I'm not very familiar with it yet

Certainly, I keep using this

You're welcome.

No problem, ... version 5 includes a handler for CelX scripts (combining LUA and CelX elements).

Don't "DOCK" the user-defined-dialog in Win7... I found that once docked, none of it's buttons responded (including the UNDOCK button), and had to re-install.

It seems this was only an issue with the 5.6.8 version I had initially installed. Installing the latest version of NOTEPAD++ has solved this problem.

Sorry for the "necro", but would it be possible to make the Syntax highlighting case sensitive? I can think of a couple of times where the code appeared correct and was highlighted, and yet it wasn't working, because a single letter had improper capitalization and woud take hours to manually find the bad letter. Especially frustrating when working with reference frames, since reference frames by themselves are already highly irritating to work with in the first place.

[Chuft-Captain]

Sorry, I don't believe this is possible.

I actually wanted to reinstall this tool a while ago, I can't seem to find a working download link?

[Chuft-Captain]

I actually wanted to reinstall this tool a while ago ...

... but why would you EVER uninstall this tool !

Took me a while to find the right version. Link restored now in OP.

[FarGetaNik]

... but why would you EVER uninstall this tool !

Because I got a new computer and could not find it in my download files anymore
Thank you

[vpontin]

Sadly, i cant find the download link anymore...

[Limax7]

I don't see the download link ?

[Diigg]

Is it possible to re-upload the file for download?

[Georgi]

For anyone who can't find the download link (myself included), the easiest solution is to use the built-in Syntax Highlighting for C, C# and C++.

It works basically the same way.
