EnhanceAnyLexer

Notepad++ plugin that adds an additional foreground colouring option to existing lexers

NOTE: An existing EnhanceAnyLexerConfig.ini is obsolete if you use version 0.5.
This means that you must either rename the ini and let the plugin create a new one automatically
or add the following two lines to the global section yourself.

regex_error_style_id=30  
regex_error_color=0x756ce0

Of course, these values are configurable.

Installation

Usage example

  • Start Notepad++
  • Configure additional coloring by calling "Enhance current language" from the EnhanceAnyLexer plugin menu.
    (You will find a more detailed description in the configuration file.)
  • Open a source file

Building manually

This plugin is written in the programming language V and must therefore be available to build this plugin.
Furthermore, a current version of the gcc compiler, >= version 10 recommended, must be installed.
An example for the use with NppExec:

cd $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)

set PROJECT=EnhanceAnyLexer
set VEXE=d:\programdata\compiler\v\v.exe

set ARCH=x64
set CC=gcc

set NPPPATH=D:\Tests\npp\812\$(ARCH)
set PLUGIN_DIR=$(NPPPATH)\plugins\$(PROJECT)

cmd /c if not exist $(PLUGIN_DIR) exit -1

if $(EXITCODE) == -1 then
  cmd /c mkdir $(PLUGIN_DIR)
endif

set PLUGIN_PATH=$(PLUGIN_DIR)\$(PROJECT).dll

set COMPILER_FLAGS= -cc gcc -prod -d static_boehm -gc boehm -keepc -enable-globals -shared -d no_backtrace -cflags -static-libgcc

if $(ARCH)==x64 then
  if $(CC)==gcc then
    $(VEXE) -cc $(CC) $(COMPILER_FLAGS) -cflags -static-libgcc -o $(PLUGIN_PATH) .
  endif  
else
  if $(CC)==gcc then
    ENV_SET PATH=D:\ProgramData\Compiler\mingw32\bin
    $(VEXE) -cc $(CC) -m32 -g $(COMPILER_FLAGS) -cflags -static-libgcc -o $(PLUGIN_PATH) .
    ENV_UNSET PATH
  endif
endif
