Markdown syntax highlighting in SciTE/Notepad++

Question

I'm looking for a .properties file for Markdown syntax in SciTE. Is it possible?

A partial highlighter would do, otherwise.

Answer 1

I'm using this syntax file: https://github.com/leafnode/markdown_npp with some color changes to fit dark background.

Answer 2

I've uploaded my (dark) user-defined language Markdown highlighter on GitHub. It uses different workarounds than thomsmits', which for the style of Markdown I've chosen work better.

Until the Markdown Scintilla lexer is imported into Notepad++, user defined languages are the best we can do.

I don't use Notepad++ any more and have deleted my project. Try Brettz9's fork of the project here: https://github.com/brettz9/Notepad---Markdown-Highlighting
