if you had old plugins before, they will have to be moved, as the plugins subfolder structure has changed a bit). If you need older plugins, that are not available in “plugins admin” we can guide you where to put them manually Note: if you need other plugins as well, you will also have to re-install them using the official “plugins admin”
(you will now be prompted for your administrator credentials)Īfter the install you will have the full xml tools menu: Now enter xml in the search field and hit next until you see xml tools, select it as seen in this screenshot and hit install. Important: do not use the old “plugin manager”, as it will not put plugins to the correct locations of newer notepad versions 7.6.0 to 7.6.3. (note: you don’t have to uninstall your current notepad++ 7.5.9, just run the npp.7.6.3.Installer.exe and install it over your current version)Īfter that start notepad++.exe and open “plugins admin” as shown at this screenshot: You will need to upgrade to 7.6.3 to get the new “plugins admin” as the old “plugin manager” seems to produce this if you try to install xml tools with it.įirst please upgrade your existing notepad++ to 7.6.3 with the 32 bit updater/installer from > here <<<. The maximum i can get is the same xml tools “how to install” pop up window you see. You can tell I'm pretty excited about Notepad++, right? Well, if you don't have more time at your disposal, stop reading this article right now and go get it - it's that good!īelieve it or not, Microsoft has built its own XML editor about a decade ago! It's an old project, but it continues to run fine even on modern operating systems, and it's got the elegant design and functionality that can be found in most of Microsoft's applications.Welcome to the notepad++ community, i can reproduce this perfectly on notepad++ 7.5.9 using the old “Plugin Manager”. But what separates it from the rest of the tools is its macro recording/playback feature.Īnd to top it all, you can launch the application using various command line arguments, making it start without loading any plugin (very helpful for fixing application crashes), making it start in the specified language (useful when you've changed the default language by mistake), making it open a file in read-only mode (to prevent any data change/loss), and much more.
If you love auto-completion (and who doesn't love this feature?) you will be glad to hear that Notepad++ supports it as well. Its GUI is fully customizable, including single and multiline tabs, minimalist views, vertical document lists, and more.
This is by far my favorite code editor, and I use it for XML file editing as well! It supports syntax highlighting, including user-defined syntax highlighting and syntax folding.
