Notepad++ configuration

Syntax highlighting

Editoria/markdown_npp provides a good set of language definitions for Markdown.

Visual preview

These instructions are adapted from this article (originally posted in the Notepad++ forums). Primarily, I've replaced the Python script with a pandoc command.

  1. Install the PreviewHTML plugin from the web site - Plugin Manager has an old version.
    1. Copy the zip file contents to Notepad++\plugins
    2. If you put the DLL in <user>\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\plugins you'll also need to allow AppData plugins by adding an empty allowAppDataPlugins.xml file to %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Notepad++.
  2. Install pandoc for converting from Markdown to HTML. I recommend using Chocolatey
  3. Configure PreviewHTML
    1. PluginsPreview HTMLEdit filter definitions (this opens Filters.samples.ini)
    2. Add the following section, then Save As Filters.ini:
[Markdown]
Extension=.md .markdown
Language=Markdown
Command=pandoc -f markdown -t html "%1"
