Exactly what I've wanted to point out. Thx for your confirmation.

In case someone is able to deal with implementing PhilHo's lexer: | Quote: | Could you please explain how to add or modify syntax schemes?
This requires modification of the Notepad2 source code.
The Scintilla documentation has an overview of syntax highlighting, and how to write your own lexer, in case the language you'd like to add is not supported by Scintilla.
The structures relevant to syntax highlighting can be found in Styles.c of the Notepad2 source code. Add your own structures to the global pLexArray, then adjust NUMLEXERS to the total number of syntax schemes. The style definitions can be found in SciLexer.h of the Scintilla source code.
Include the Lex*.cxx files from Scintilla required for your languages in your project and follow the instructions in Readme.txt to rebuild Notepad2. I recommend using Visual Studio .NET 7 or above.

Notepad++ uses regular SciLexer.dll, so replacing the provided one with mine and replacing two XML files should do the trick (once I finished doing that). No need for recompiling it. That's Notepad2 which needs recompiling. And I won't do it, I prefer to spend my scarce free time to improve the lexer (and do other projects).
[EDIT] My bad, both need recompiling, see below!

Dear PhiLho,

And will that add AHK to the Languages Menu? 
Thanks!. Awaiting eagerly
Regards,

Fair enough

I guess it should have been "Scarce free time"

Ehe, a c has been lost, indeed!
I made a sad discovery, Goyyah was right, Notepad++ needs to be recompiled too.
While the stylers.xml and langs.xml files looked like the program was flexible, looking in the sources to see why I didn't saw AutoHotkey in the language menu (as shown by Goyyah), I saw that author, for some reason, hard-coded the language lists in several places!
I don't understand this choice that forbid using less common languages already supported by Scintilla. Being more flexible wouldn't cost probably much. Of course, replacing its SciLexer.dll by a standard or customized one might break some features (perhaps the line draw mode, perhaps the user defined one) and would bloat it (since this is a subset of languages, it is smaller than standard one). But I am still disappointed.
Well, perhaps you can petition the author:
1) To be more flexible;
2) (more likely) To support AHK.
I still have the above XML files, in case they become useful someday.

As BoBo requested, maybe someday you should re-compile Notepad2 atleast.

First update, see first post to see what is changed: various bug fixes, functionnal folding.

Not me, sorry.
I downloaded the source of Notepad2, out of curiosity, and I saw it is even worse (read: less flexible) than Notepad++, in the sense that keywords and styles are hard-coded in the source code, so it seems very hard to alter them (style are overridable, but I saw no way to add or change keywords).
Again, I won't do it, but it shouldn't be such a hard task to upgrade these editors.
For Notepad++, I wrote a message in their forum, asking for more flexibility or perhaps future AHK support.

@ PhiLho
I'm fine with that and I really appreciate your effort to provide an AHK lexer. Thx mate. |

I do not how but AHK shows in the bottom of the "Languages Menu"
Can I have a copy of those XML Files.. Please!

They are stylers.xml and langs.xml, with only the AHK definitions, ie. they have to be merged in the existing files.
But I think you only created a User Defined language, and you already have the corresponding syntax files in %A_AhkPath%\Extras\Editors\Notepad++\
