> 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,

>> Fellow eQuest users,
>>
>> If you're like me and you use notepad++ to work on .inp files, you might
>> be interested in something I just released.
>>
>> I found myself wanting two things: syntax highlighting to be able to
>> quickly see the important keywords while scrolling down, and some kind of
>> navigation pane in order to quickly reach a selected section of a file.
>>
>> In order to achieve syntax highlighting, I've simply created user defined
>> languages.
>>
>> In order to achieve a navigation pane, I had to use an advanced function
>> of Notepad++ called Function List.
>>
>> What you'll get out of it will look like this:
>>
>> ​
>> 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.
>>
>> *For the files as well as as installation guidelines, please go to my
>> Github repository <https://github.com/jmarrec/notepad>, where the readme
>> should explain everything you need to know.*
>>
>> Feedback/bug report/pull request are welcome.
>>
>>
>> Cheers,
>> Julien
