[Equest-users] Syntax highlighting and navigation pane for eQuest with Notepad++

[Julien Marrec]

I got a few replies from people who had trouble getting it to run. This is
good feedback, I guess the install instructions weren't crystal clear and
I'll update them tomorrow. I had only shared this with my colleagues at
Altanova and I've always guided them in real time.

the simplest is to use both files in there:
https://github.com/jmarrec/notepad/tree/master/EnergyPlus%20Only

You'll have to rename them to just functionList.xml and userDefineLang.xml
before placing them into your %appdata%Notepad++ folder.

The reason I have them with different names is because I wanted to avoid
people simply overwriting their local files without thinking about it, and
maybe regret it later. I recommend keeping a copy of the original files
(you can even leave them in the same folder by renaming to
functionList-ori.xml for example)

Thanks,

> One the above picture you can see syntax highlighting on an eQuest Input
> File (.inp). To the right, you have the "Function List" pane that serves as
> a navigation pane:
> - You get classes (major sections)
> - You can expend them to get an anchor to any specific object: click it
> and you'll jump to its location in the file.
>
> Similar results are achieved for E+ as well if you use both.
