Markdown Syntax Highlighting for Notepad++

Default or Zenburn, your choice! :)

By default, Notepad++ doesn't provide syntax highlighting for Markdown.
I use them everyday, and I'm using a dark theme called Zenburn.
So, I make one for myself, and share to the world.

If you are a Notepad++ and Markdown user, you may like it!

Supports file extensions: .markdown and .md
Tested: Notepad++ v6.9.1 (Windows 7)

I also created Coffeescript syntax highlighting: link (for Zenburn theme only)

How to Use?

  1. Download the Markdown language definition file
  2. In Notepad++ menu, click Language and select Define your language... .
  3. In User Defined Language windows, click Import then open the xml file.
  4. Restart Notepad++.
  5. Open and test with a Markdown file e.g. test.md

Enjoy!!

Limitations

  • *em text* only parse the first word because it will screw up unorder list
