I'm trying to add the syntax plugin for the Go programming language in Notepad++.
There is a repository for such user-defined languages. I downloaded and unzipped the Go files, which contained a README, a userDefinedLang_Go.xml, and go.xml.
I attempted to follow the instructions at the bottom of the page as follows. Since I am using Windows 7 (x64), my Notepad++ directory is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++".
Having not installed a user defined language before, I didn't have a userDefinedLang.xml file already, so I copied userDefinedLang_Go.xml into the root directory, and renamed it to remove the "_Go", making it userDefinedLang.xml.
I then copied go.xml into C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\APIs\
This seems to be all of the steps necessary. However, when I open Notepad++, there is no "Go" near "Lang => User Defined", and there is no syntactic coloring on a .go file. Attempting to import via "View => User-Defined Dialogue => import" gives a "fail to import" error.
What am I doing wrong? I'm using a clean installation of Notepad++, which is version 6.1.8.
I had to put my userDefineLang.xml file in my AppData\Roaming folder:
C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++
New install of Notepad++ 6.4.5 on Windows 7 64 bit
Download from Notepad++ site:
http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php?title=User_Defined_Language_Files#G
Copy "go.xml" to C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\APIs.
The default install doesn't have any user-defined languages, so you can do this:
Copy "userDefineLang_Go.xml" to C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++
Remove the "_Go" from the file name, so it's "userDefineLang.xml"
Uncomment the opening and closing "NotepadPlus" tags.
(If you already have a userDefineLang.xml then add the content from the _Go file.)
Restart Notepad++.
I just got it working on my system after some tinkering. Put this at the top of the userDefinedLang.xml file and the go.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" ?>
That should do the trick (after reopening Notepad++).
go.xml should be in the plugins/APIs folder, and userDefinedLang.xml goes in the root of Notepad++ as you said.
Something other answers do not discuss: Some older versions of Notepad++ do not appear to work with any of these answers.
I tried pretty much all the solutions before upgrading Notepad++ to version 6.4.2.
xkcd 979
Tested Notepad++ versions:
5.9 - not working - tested by namey
6.4.2 - working - tested by Elysian Fields
6.6.9 - working - tested by namey
For other versions your mileage may vary.
I share the solution I found for Notepad++ 6.5, because I had the same issue than the previous messages.
If not done, do the install steps explained in go\misc\notepadplus\README (userDefineLang.xml,functionList.xml,APIs).
When you don 't have useDefineLang.xml in Notepad++, create one using the file from go\misc\notepadplus\useDefineLang.xml, but don't forget to add the first line <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" ?>
and uncomment NotepadPlus part to have <NotepadPlus> at the beginning and </NotepadPlus> at the end.
Change in functionList.xml: <association ext=".go" id="go"/> BY <association userDefinedLangName="go" id="go"/>
As I didn't have any userDefineLang.xml file by default in Notepad++, I imported this file using the menu Language → Define your language → *Import.
Then stop/start Notepad++.
Check that Go is in the Language menu at the end of the list.
Open a .go file. If the color doesn't change automatically click on go in /Language menu
All were OK after that for me (indentation, color, autocompletion, etc.).
I added pl/sql language syntax to Notepad++. The syntax /language was on the web. Here's how I got it to work ...
Open the XML file using Notepad and added <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" ?> to the very beginning, as David had suggested. Then save it to userDefinedLang_plsql.xml
Paste the file in the Notepad++ root directory.
I also copied it into C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\APIs\, and navigated to menu Languages → Userdefined, but it did nothing.
So, I then went to menu Languages → Define your language and selected pl/sql from the drop down, renamed it, and saved it in that dialog window.
The new language then it appeared in the language dialog at the end.
userDefineLang resides in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\userDefineLang.xml.
Make sure your Notepad++ is installed under "C:\Program Files(86)", and not under "C:\npp.#.#.#.bin" folder.
And download from https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download. Or simply google "Download Notepad++".
Check out a sample Scala language userDefineLang.xml file here: https://github.com/nfang/scala-syntax-highlighter
If you don't have any user languages defined before, then after renaming userDefinedLang_Go.xml to userDefinedLang.xml, also edit the text of file by adding the tags <NotepadPlus></NotepadPlus> around the original content.

So, I followed the instuctions in their website, there's a .vim/pack/themes/start path with the dracula folder there with everything and I add the three lines to the _vimrc (had to open as admin to be able to save changes) file in my FilesProgram/Vim folder
after that, two other files appeared, a ._vimrc.un~ and _vimrc~ and now when I try to open vim it gives the following error
Error detected while processing C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\_vimrc:
line 41:
E919: Directory not found in 'packpath': "pack/*/opt/dracula"
line 43:
E185: Cannot find color scheme 'dracula'
Can anybody tell me where Is the mistake and how to fix it?
We have a cascade of mistakes, here.
The first one was made by the Dracula maintainers, who forgot not everyone uses the same system as them and therefore only provided instructions for "Unix"-like systems and not for Windows (and even those are incorrect anyway).
The second one was made by you, who blindly followed "Unix" instructions on Windows despite the many incompatibilities between those systems.
The third one was also made by you, who edited the system-wide C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\_vimrc instead of your C:\Users\Edrods\_vimrc.
Follow these steps to fix your setup:
Create C:\Users\Edrods\vimfiles\.
This directory is where all your configuration is supposed to happen. Don't do anything Vim-related anywhere else.
Whenever you see ~/.vim/ mentioned in a tutorial or README.md, replace it mentally with C:\Users\Edrods\vimfiles\.
Create C:\Users\Edrods\vimfiles\vimrc.
This is your main configuration file.
Whenever you see vimrc, .vimrc, or _vimrc mentioned in a tutorial or README.md, replace it mentally with C:\Users\Edrods\vimfiles\vimrc.
Revert any change you may have performed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\.
Whatever line you have added to C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\_vimrc must be moved to C:\Users\Edrods\vimfiles\vimrc.
Whatever file or directory you may have added to C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\ must be moved to C:\Users\Edrods\vimfiles\.
The goal is to return C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\ to its pristine state and forget that directory even exists. It is off-limits.
Put the dracula directory where it belongs:
C:\Users\Edrods\vimfiles\pack\themes\start\dracula
Add these lines to your vimrc (remember what I said earlier about mentally replacing it with the correct path?) if they are not there already:
syntax enable
colorscheme dracula
(Optional) Tell the maintainers of that colorscheme to fix their installation instructions.
I am trying to make a naoqi package with qipkg (I dont know if this problem is specific to aldebaran naoqi or if it is a general windows problem)
qipkg make-package Pepper-Demo.pml
but I get the folowing error:
NotInPath Could not find executable: lrelease
qipkg deploy-package is working as it should.
I solved it with the folowing steps:
Check if there is a .exe file called lrelease in the folder at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Softbank Robotics\Choregraphe Suite 2.5\bin
If not, search for the file on your computer using search in file explorer.
The error message displayed in which folders it searched for.
Go to the first folder it searched in (or create it) and paste the lrelease file.
I want my Atom.io opens "template.cshtml" files as html files.
I installed package "file-types"
and add to my config.cson as:
http://screencast.com/t/ABSsERh3gj52
But I see my templates.cshtml as early.
Please help me with config.cson
Have you checked out language-cshtml, it's an atom package meant directly at cshtml files which adds styntax highlighting.
My default Geany installation on Debian does not recognize some file types out of the box. How can I add extensions, using the same syntax highlighting as other known extensions for simplicity's sake?
In the current case, I'd like Geany to open all .aspx files with the same highlighting as .html files.
Use inside the menu Tools->Configuration files->filetype_extensions.conf. This will allow you to configure the filetypes based on suffix for your user.
Just add new extensions in /usr/local/share/geany/filetype_extensions.conf
I had trouble accomplishing this without help from here.
Go here to read documentation about this topic.
From the Geany menu, go to:
Tools > Configuration Files > filetype_extensions.conf
Go to this line and un-comment it:
#~ [Extensions]
So that it just reads:
[Extensions]
I was needing to add .mjs as an additional extension for javascript. So, for me, I also uncommented this line:
#~ Javascript=*.js;
And changed it to:
Javascript=*.js;*.mjs;
After this, I saved the file.
Now when I opened files having a .mjs file extension, they automatically have Javascript Syntax Highlighting.
I made some suggestions to improve this expeirience here.
I recently started using Sublime Text 2. What an awesome editor. It does a great job of highlighting Ruby code, but it does not highlight my Gemfile.
Is there a way to get it to do that?
I found this Gist but it has no instructions on how to use it.
There are at least three options:
Switch syntax manually (not preferred, but easy; no explanation required)
Add "Gemfile" to the list of Ruby-syntax files
Use the plugin you link to and create a package for it
1. No explanation, but handy trick
You can bind a keystroke to set syntax without moving to the mouse.
I bound syntax changing to Ctrl-Opt-Space by adding the following to my user keybindings:
[
{ "keys": ["ctrl+alt+space"],
"command": "show_overlay",
"args": { "overlay": "command_palette", "text": "Set Syntax: " } }
]
2. Add "Gemfile" to list of Ruby-syntax files
Linux: ~/.config/sublime-text-2/Packages/Ruby/Ruby.tmLanguage
OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/Ruby/Ruby.tmLanguage
Windows: %APPDATA%/Sublime Text 2/Packages/Ruby/Ruby.tmLanguage
You can also get there by using the menu option Preferences -> Browse Packages and going into the Ruby package. Once you're in the file it'll be obvious: it's the <array> element with Ruby-looking filenames. Add <string>Gemfile</string> and you're all set.
It's possible the setting could get overwritten on an upgrade; I'm not sure how that works with ST2–it may be cleaner to do it through code as in the snippet.
3. Using the snippet you linked to
More work (and the correction of one syntax error). You can either do it manually, by creating a directory in Packages (see above for location) or create an actual package and allow ST2 to install it.
I created a test package called "Syntax" and copied the snippet into it, restarted ST2, and opening a Gemfile worked as expected. The correction required an additional colon (new gist), nutshell:
elif name[-3] == "erb": # Needed a semi-colon here.
set_sintax(view, "HTML (Rails)", "Rails")
If you are here but are using Sublime Text 3 you might not be able able to find the 'list of Ruby-syntax files' in packages.
Most other solutions found online were confusing to me.
I fixed this by manually changing Gemfile to Ruby in the bottom right hand corner file extension menu item when you have opened the file in Sublime Text 3 (which is what I had been doing each time I opened the file up until now).
Once you have selected ruby then go to Preferences -> Settings-More -> Syntax Specific-User
{
"extensions":
[
"Gemfile",
"Gemfile.lock"
]
}
When you navigate to Syntax Specific User it opens a file specific to the language that the file has syntax highlighting for. You may need to change the file back to whatever it is defaulting too (mine was 'Rd (R Documentation).sublime-settings') and removing Gemfile from that Syntax highlighting file.
In Ubuntu these files are stored at
~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/User
The DetectSyntax plugin for ST2 provides a more comprehensive solution to highlighting files - It allows file highlighting based on rules. It's smart enough to understand the difference between a Rails file, other files that use .rb as an extension and standard ruby files.
The standard rules include Gemfile, Rakefile, Guardfile and others matched to Ruby for Syntax formatting.
See DetectSyntax on GitHub.
You can achieve this by copying the HTML.tmLanguage file in the User/ folder, this way it won't be overwritten by an update.
