<h1>Plugins
|
|
</h1><p>
|
|
Notepad++
|
|
is very extensible using so called plugins. Plugins are small or big
|
|
additions to Notpead++ to enhance its functionality. Notepad++ comes
|
|
bundled with a few plugins (when using the installer, you
|
|
can choose which ones to add), but you can always add your own or
|
|
remove some. The plugins are located in the Plugins directory in the
|
|
main Notepad++ installation directory. They are DLL files and simply
|
|
removing or adding them is enough.
|
|
<p>
|
|
When Notepad++ starts, it looks into its Plugins configuration folder and loads whatever dll it finds. Later, you can add plugins using the <span class="menu_item">Settings -> Import -> Import plugins</span> menu.
|
|
Be
|
|
careful to make sure your version of Notepad++ is up-to-date enough
|
|
for new plugins and that the plugin is compatible with Notepad++
|
|
(some very old plugins will not work with newer versions of
|
|
Notepad++, it is up to the developer of the plugin to add support or
|
|
not).
|
|
<p>
|
|
Currently,
|
|
Notepad++ can be found in an (older) ANSI version and the newer
|
|
Unicode verison. The plugin has to match this version, otherwise it
|
|
will not work (Notepad++ will warn you about this).
|
|
Plugins
|
|
can be found anywhere on the internet, but a large
|
|
can be found in the Notepad++ Plugins project on SourceForge.net:</font>
|
|
<a target="_blank" href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-plugins/">http://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-plugins/</a>. There is even a plugin, called Plugin Manager, which works out the installation details and version management for you.
|
|
<p>If a plugin misbehaves, Notepad++ will go out of its way to prevent the failure from propagating so as to avoid any loss of data. In such a case, you will be presented with information about the plugin reporting a problem. Making this information available on the Plugin Development forum will help removing the cause of the problem as soon as possible.
