How do I turn off syntax highlighting for txt files in notepad++?

Question

Notepad recently began applying a greyed-out color to anything in quotes in my txt files. I don't know what started this and I can't find way to undo it in the settings. How do I change it back?

Answer 1

Click on LANGUAGE -> N -> NORMAL TEXT You may have somehow selected Java as the language setting of your documents.

You can also set the default by going to: SETTINGS -> PREFERENCES -> NEW DOCUMENT -> DEFAULT TEXT -> DEFAULT LANGUAGE and set that to "Normal Text".
