I'm looking for a .properties file for Markdown syntax in SciTE. Is it possible?

A partial highlighter would do, otherwise.

I'm using this syntax file: https://github.com/leafnode/markdown_npp with some color changes to fit dark background.

  • This one worked well for me. Specifically appreciate that he already has multiple configs for a number of the different standard color themes. – bronsoja Jan 14 '14 at 16:34

    This repo has been taken down now, don't know why, so the link is broken – icc97 Jun 25 '14 at 17:04

I've uploaded my (dark) user-defined language Markdown highlighter on GitHub. It uses different workarounds than thomsmits', which for the style of Markdown I've chosen work better.

Until the Markdown Scintilla lexer is imported into Notepad++, user defined languages are the best we can do.

I don't use Notepad++ any more and have deleted my project. Try Brettz9's fork of the project here: https://github.com/brettz9/Notepad---Markdown-Highlighting

I'm using Markdown-plus-plus. The install instruction is outdated on many projects. The actual instruction is:

  1. Select menu "Language" → "Define your language..."
  2. Press button "Import...", and select {markdown}.xml (from GitHub repositories).
  3. Restart Notepad++

I believe somebody mentioned on the mailing list that he is working on such a lexer. I don't think a simple .properties file can do the job, as there isn't any existing lexer (to my knowledge) with similar syntax.
