How to activate function lists in Notepad++

Question

The question might sound stupid.

I am using NP++ 6.8.8 (the latest I addording the homepage)

I would like to use the function list (basically as described here), with nothing special, just to see PHP-functions.

I can open the function list window, but don't see any functions.

Do I need to do something to get this working?

The functionList.XML - in the NPP installation directory - looks OK. And I have not used function lists it until now, but know it worked some time back.

PS:

not even this helped Notepad++ function list PHP not working if I didn't close the PHP tag

Answer 1

The functionList.xml in the %APPDATA% (= C:\Documents and Settings\< User >\< App Data >\Notepad++) need to be deleted (or renamed).

This file only containes a three languages, while the file in the Program directory contains many more languages.

In addition the link to Notepad++ function list PHP not working if I didn't close the PHP tag was helpful as well.
