One day my user-configured styles contained the font, and the next day they were suddenly and mysteriously replaced with 'Courier New'. The main tip-off to a potential fix was the fact that the problem started after I had already been using version 3.7 for several months without any problems. However, I believe I may have a solution. For example, with if, else, and endif, it will define fold regions so that you can fold from if to else, from else to endif, and (assuming there is no else clause) from if to endif.I had the same irritating issue with 'Bitstream Vera Sans Mono'. The Open, Middle, and Close boxes under each folding-type define the triggers for the start, middle, and end of folding.

The Folder & Default tab allows setting the default style, setting up keywords (or characters) that will allow code folding, and setting up styles for those keywords. However, these descriptions will give you an overview of what each tab is for.

He explains the details of what each of the tabs in the User Defined Language dialog box will do, and how to use them to style your various keywords. Ivan Radić has created the definitive guide to the nuts and bolts of UDL version 2.1, which is available at. For example Ext.: md mkdn will associate file.mkdn or something.md with your selected UDL. These extensions override the default extensions for pre-defined Languages, so if your UDL’s extension conflicts with another language’s extension, the UDL will take priority. Files that match these extensions will be interpreted as belonging to the currently-selected UDL, and will be styled appropriately.

Ext.: _ will accept a list of zero or more extensions (without the period).

Remove will delete the currently-selected UDL.

Rename will rename the currently-selected UDL.

When a UDL other than the default User Defined Language is selected in the pulldown, the following will also be available:

☐ Transparency (when not docked) will make the dialog box semi-transparent the slider bar changes from virtually invisible (all the way to the left) to mostly opaque (all the way to the right) if you want it completely opaque (no transparency), uncheck the box.

☐ Ignore Case will make the various keywords ignore case while matching.

Dock or Undock will toggle whether the UDL dialog is a standalone dialog, or docked in the Notepad++ window.

Export… will save a UDL XML file to a location of your choosing you can then share this with others, so that they can import your UDL for their own use.

Import… will import a UDL XML file into your current instance ( see below).

Save As will copy the currently-selected UDL, with all its stylings and rules, to a new name.

Create New will copy the default User Defined Language stylings and rules to a new name.There is a special entry for the default UDL, called User Defined Language here (though it shows up in the Notepad++ Languages menu as User-Defined), which can be used as a template for other UDL. User Language pulldown lists all the existing UDL will allow you to select the UDL you would like to edit or examine.The main pulldowns and buttons are available, whichever configuration tab is active: Using Languages > Define Your Language… will bring up a dialog box (which can be docked as a pane in the Notepad++ Window, or can be a floating dialog box).

The Languages menu on the menu-bar includes the list of built-in languages, and below those are a separator followed by Define Your Language… and a list of any UDL that have been already defined. Enter the User Defined Languages (or “UDL” for short): the UDL interface allows the user to define rules for formatting normal text, keywords, comments, numbers to define delimiters (like quotes around strings or parentheses around lists) which will cause text between those delimiters to be formatted and to define symbols or keywords that can be used to allow folding (on-demand hiding and unhiding of blocks of code or text). However, not every possible language or formatting style is available. Notepad++ comes prepackaged with many Language lexers, which apply syntax highlighting to source code or textual data.
