Hello Notepad++ users that are also z80 programmers, ISSOtm here !

I launched myself into assembly programming, and chose Npp as an editor because Windows default Notepad is too "default".
However, I missed the syntaxic coloration, and although choosing "Assembly" language properly colored the comments, the instructions were black.

Thanks to version 6.0 (5.0 ? Don't remember), we are now able to define languages by ourselves.

That already existed before 6.0 !

Yes, but it used to be extremely basic, sorry. Now we can define keywords as "prefixes", and much more.

So, if you use Notepad++, here are 5541 bytes for you : the z80 coloration file.
Do the following when you have downloaded the file :

• Open Npp
• In the Language menu, select "Define your language"
• In the dialogue box, press "Import..." and find the xml file
• Restart Npp
• Now you can access "Asm z80" at the bottom of the Language list !

If you're not happy with the name I've given, re-open the dialogue box, and select Language : Asm z80
Press "Rename", and enter the new name. Restart Npp to load changes.

I've put all instructions (including stuff like sll), and compiler instructions (like #define or .org). However tell me if you want me to add more.
Redistribution ? Of course you can ! As long as you mention my name.

Here is a screenshot taken of me working with the coloration on :

Wow, thanks for the quick reply.
I don't see what can be folded, though.

Numbers are properly highlighted (including A-F and a-f being only included when using a $ prefix or h suffix), however there are two bugs that I'm not able to correct due to UDL not allowing me to do so :
First, binary numbers aren't correctly highlighted : %10010110 is colored as intended, but %12345678 is too (whereas it shouldn't)
The other bug is that is a comma follows a number, it won't be highlighted (.db $FD , $CB colors both numbers, but .db $FD,$CB highlights none).

^ what he said we use the same file as we work together!
