Notepad++ is an alterantive text editor with syntax highlighting.
This repository contain a syntax highlighting template for the ArchestrA scripting language. This specific one is done according to the solarized dark theme which was scientifically worked out:
Quote from the Solarized color scheme website from Ethan:
"Solarized is a sixteen color palette (eight monotones, eight accent colors) designed for use with terminal and gui applications. It has several [unique properties](http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized#features). I designed this colorscheme with both precise [CIELAB](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lab_color_space) lightness relationships and a refined set of hues based on fixed color wheel relationships. It has been tested extensively in real world use on color calibrated displays (as well as uncalibrated/intentionally miscalibrated displays) and in a variety of lighting conditions." - source http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized
The ArchestrA theme will look something like this in Notepad++:
To begin using this theme, choose one of the following options to get started:
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/RoanFourie/notepad-plus-plus-ArchestrA-theme.git - Fork, Clone, or Download on GitHub
After downloading, simply import the file from within Notepad++.
Click on "Language"
Click on "Define your language..."
Then on "Import"
Select the "ArchestrA_2014_Lang_Def.xml" file to be imported.
After the import, restart Notepad++ to let the theme take effect.
You will see the extra language in the Language menu.
From there you can safe your scripts in text files with the ".archestra" extension.
