George Syntax highlighting for Notepad++, SublimeText and online

Post by Jeremy Richard »

Here is my first attempt at creating some syntax higlighting for Notepad++, Sublime Text and online. It comes with a dark and a light theme.

Hopefully it covers all of George's syntax. Feel free to change the colours if you wish.

Notepad++
Download for Notepad++ .zip 2MB
Spoiler : How to install :
  1. Download the files
  2. Inside Notepad++, in the top bar menu, go to Settings > Preferences...
  3. In the Preferences window that pops up, select 'Dark Mode' on the left hand side then tick 'Dark mode' and close the Preferences window.
  4. Still in the top bar menu, go to Language > User Defined Language > Define your language...
  5. A "User Defined Language" window pops up, in which we press the 'Import..' button
  6. In the explorer window that appears, browse where we downloaded the files then select the George-Dark.xml file and click 'Open' to confirm
  7. A little window will pop up stating "Import successful", confirm by pressing "OK"
  8. Close the 'User Defined Language' window and the main Notepad++ window
  9. Restart Notepad++
  10. In the top bar menu, go to Language and select George Dark in the list (all the way down)
  11. Open a .grg file and the syntax will be highligthed in glorious colours.

Add these following lines in the <head> of your web page:

Then add an extra data attribute with the value of 'george' to the <pre> tag in which we place our code:
<pre data-lang="george">

And finally add the class which determines which theme we want, dark or light:
<pre data-lang="george" class="dark">
