Adding a user-defined language in Notepad++

Question

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 unzip

Answer 1

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++.
