The Notepad2 Source Code

This package contains the full source code of Notepad2 4.1.24 for
Windows. Project files for Visual C++ 7.0 are included. Chances are
that Notepad2 can be rebuilt with other development tools, including
the free Visual C++ Express Edition, but I haven't tested this.

Rebuilding from the Source Code

To be able to rebuild Notepad2, the source code of the Scintilla
editing component [1] has to be unzipped to the "Scintilla"
subdirectory of the Notepad2 source code directory.

[1] http://www.scintilla.org

Notepad2 4.1.24 has been created with Scintilla 2.03. The following
modification to the Scintilla source code is necessary:

Scintilla/src/KeyWords.cxx:

#define LINK_LEXER(lexer) extern LexerModule lexer; ...

must be replaced with:

#define LINK_LEXER(lexer) void(0)

Creating a Compact Executable Program File

Linking to the system CRT slightly improves disk footprint, memory
usage and startup because the pages for the system CRT are already
loaded and shared in memory. To achieve this, the release version of
Notepad2.exe is built using the Windows Driver Kit (WDK) 7.1.0 tools,
available as a free download from Microsoft. The appropriate build
scripts can be found in the "wdkbuild" subdirectory. Set %WDKBASEDIR%
to the directory where the WDK tools are located on your system.

How to add or modify Syntax Schemes

The Scintilla documentation has an overview of syntax highlighting,
and how to write your own lexing module, in case the language you
would like to add is not currently supported by Scintilla.

Add your own lexer data structs to the global pLexArray (Styles.c),
then adjust NUMLEXERS (Styles.h) to the new total number of syntax
schemes. The style definitions can be found in SciLexer.h of the
Scintilla source code. Include the Lex*.cxx file from Scintilla
required for your language into your project.
