Using Notepad++


Notepad++ is a popular text/code editor. It is free and open source and can be downloaded from the official website https://notepad-plus-plus.org. It supports many programming or scripting languages. Its text editing capabilities are much more powerful than Calcpad. It is also very useful for writing Html code. Calcpad syntax can be also used with Notepad++. It is predefined as an XML file that can be inserted in Notepad++. You can do this by selecting the "Language" menu, then click "Define your language" and then, "Import…". Find the Calcpad folder inside your Program Files directory or wherever Calcpad is installed and select the file named Calcpad-syntax-for-Notepad++.xml.
