# Outpost 2 Tech File Syntax Highlighting for Notepad++ ## Introduction Notepad++ supports custom syntax highlighting using User Defined Languages (UDL). UDL files can be edited through Notepad++ or by modifying the XML directly. Using syntax highlighting will help recognize keywords quicker and may prevent misspelling them. ## Usage To use the Outpost 2 Tech File UDL, register the UDL in Notepad++. From Notepad++, navigate through Language -> Define your Language... -> Import... Since many files use the .txt extension, when loading a Tech File into Notepad++, you have to tell Notepad++ to use the tech file UDL when loading a file. This prevents Notepad++ from trying to syntax highlight all .txt files as Outpost 2 tech files. To specify syntax highlighting for a tech file, go back to the Language Tab and select the Outpost 2 Tech File. ## Bugs If you find a bug in the syntax highlighting, it can be fixed by editing the UDL file from within Notepad++.
