Sigurd's WML Syntax Highlighting for Notepad++

[SigurdFireDragon]

Here's my Notepad++ wml syntax highlighter. It's based off of a previous wml file from the forums, with some changes.
The colors used are based on what colors Notepad++ uses for similar concepts in C++, Lua, and Python.

To use, you must have a Notepad++ version that has at least v2.1 of User Defined Language.
Just download the attached file & extract the .xml file with a .7z compatible program.
Then in Notepad++ >> 'Language' menu >> 'Define your language...' option >> click the 'import' button and point it to the .xml file.

Quirks:
Using Notepad++'s toggle comments command adds a '##' to indicate a comment. This hack was necessary to get colors for other highlighting working. Comments can also be indicated with the standard single #.

Some keywords/tags are missing from the list. Please PM any that are missing, and they will get added at some point.

Comments and questions welcome. There are some additional things I wanted to do with this, but they will have to wait for a future version of the Notepad++ UDL.

I will occasionally update this file with new keywords and such.

Seems interesting. I'll surely download this!

I've been using this for quite a while and just want to say thanks, it's made writing wml much easier!

[SigurdFireDragon]

You're welcome

Lot of good job done here, thank you, SigurdFireDragon. editor_name and help_topic_text are missing, but they are so rarely used that it's not a problem at all. I appreciate it even more, because I tried to do that myself and my list was always incomplete.

[SigurdFireDragon]

Thanks, I'll be sure to add those on the next update

[Whiskeyjack]

Thanks a ton, Sigurd!

Discovering this made my life so much easier - I was thinking about postponing all other Wesnoth stuff just to write my own version, when I came across this thread!

I fiddled a little with the colors to adapt it to dark mode, but that was the easy part.

You're welcome

Hello and thanks for the Notepad++ file!

Just one comment: why did you specified the background color too? It results very badly unless you use a default white background. I suppose you can specify the background as transparent or none or defualt.

I'm a fan of darkthemed editors

Hadn't occurred to me when I first made it. I'll see about doing transparent/none/default for background in the next version.
