notepad2-mod: custom code folding for txt files?

<< < (5/5)

dr_andus:
three hypens ( --- ) at the start of a line triggers the "Document" syntax for YAML, which can be used as a colored horizontal line separator.

I had to reinstall Notepad2-mod on a new Win7, 64-bit machine (using the most recent Notepad2-mod (64-bit) v. 4.2.25 r964 (ba441e6)), and for some reason I'm unable to import my old settings, so I tried to recreate the YAML scheme from scratch.

Was it just my imagination or were three hyphens ( --- ) supposed to trigger a horizontal rule that stretched across the entire line or only until you kept adding hyphens (-------------), which is the current behaviour?

dr_andus:
I specified the comment syntax (everything after #) as bold headings and any word suffixed with : gets color background.

This also stopped working for me for some reason  :(

Now comment highligthing after hash (#) and colon (:) only works if the line does not start with a Tab. I don't mind that behaviour for the colon (actually I prefer it), but with # this means I can't use them for folding Markdown headers because I can't create foldable sub-headings by hitting Tab and starting a level 2 (##) etc. heading.

Actually starting the line with # even prevents the creation of a folding point now, so it definitely doesn't work for use as Markdown headings.

Any ideas how to fix this? It used to work before.

Hi, the old steps still work for me

First click view > customize schemes...
Then in the popup window:
- Default text > associated filename editbox: remove txt
- YAML > associated filename editbox: add txt
- YAML >
comment: change to: bold; fore:#0A246A
identifier: change to: bold; fore:#0A246A;back:#D7D7FF
error: clear the style editbox
document: back:#DDDDFF

Now comment highligthing after hash (#) and colon (:) only works if the line does not start with a Tab.

IIRC it always was like that. But you can enable settings > Insert Tabs as Spaces and then #example will be styled even if tab indented.

That is configurable. Change from

--- ---document: back:#DDDDFFto

--- ---document: back:#DDDDFF; eolfilledand the color will be to the end of the line filled
