Notepad++ MIPS Syntax Highlighting

Add Syntax Highlighting when coding using the MIPS assembly language in Notepad++

Installation and Usage

  1. Download the userDefineLang.xml file.
  2. Navigate to the C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++ directory. In that directory you should find other .xml files and possibly a file named userDefineLang.xml.
  3. If there isn't such a file in the directory, just copy the file you downloaded into that directory and go to step 5.
  4. Otherwise, in order to not lose any other user-defined languages, open the downloaded file, copy everything between the <UserLang> and </UserLang> tag, including the tags, and paste it right after the <NotepadPlus> tag in the userDefineLang.xml file already present on your computer.
  5. Save the userDefineLang.xml file, restart Notepad++ and under the menu Language you should find the MIPS language you just installed. Click on it to set it as the language of the current file and you're done!
