Programmer's Notepad Forums

   I have a question about how Programmer's Notepad handles embedded languages (e.g., a file with *.php extension that contains PHP, HTML, JavaScript and CSS). Sorry if it's obvious but I've just discovered the program.

   Does it have a specific support so it uses the appropriate data in each code block (syntax highlight, autocompletion...)? Do you need to configure it or use a third-party plugin? Or you're limited to switching langs manually in "Change Scheme" menu?

   Whatever, I'm glad someone wrote at last an open-source editor where the GUI doesn't suck :)

   Well, I presume that no answers so far mean that such feature is not implemented yet. It's a pity since I really enjoy PN's style.

   I've opened a feature request in the bug tracker so it hopefully gets considered some day:

   This is supported for web files and the like, in that we support html, javascript, and php in the same file - only css isn't included if I remember correctly. Try using the HTML scheme instead of the PHP scheme.

   Actually, the PHP schema highlights PHP and HTML while the HTML schema only highlights HTML. And, in both cases, autocompletion does not seem aware of context and offers weird suggestions like adding HTML tags with my PHP variables. So I suppose it's using the workaround of mixing all the necessary keywords into a single scheme. It'd be cool if you could define independent schemes for each lang and automatically get the appropriate one depending on where you are.
