NPM fails

Good morning,

Not an issue (I think) but just a note that if like myself if you already have a custom language defined (mine was TypeScript) then npm package fails. Only way to install it to get source and then go to

Language -> User Defined Language -> Define your language...

Then import the udl of your choice. Then it works and shows your chosen md themed language.

Kind Regards.

Great. Solved, I guess. 🙂

As said it is mainly NP++'s problem. But thanks for looking into it. The workaround works, closing it now.

Kind Regards.

I have tried to reproduce the problem. Yes, it seems that it is the problem of “cloud” function in NPP.

Problem

When “Cloud” directory is set in NPP’s Preferences, the <userDefineLangs\> folder is not created automatically.

NPP will not open the folder when you click in menu: Language → User Defined Language → Open User Defined Language folder…

Solution

I still prefer to use the <userDefineLangs\> to manage your UDL files, rather than modifying a single UDL in the old days.

Let say: You setup your cloud directory at <%UserProfile%\Documents\Notepad++\>

• Manually create a folder called “userDefineLangs” in your cloud folder.
• Copy or move all UDL files into the folder.
• Restart NPP.

If it is setup correctly, NPP will open Explorer when you click in menu: Language → User Defined Language → Open User Defined Language folder…

Run npx markdown-plus-plus command in your new <userDefineLangs\>, instead of the default one.

Yay~
