It's weird. I tried to download v7.5.9 32-bit and import the file userDefinedLang-markdown.solarized-light.modern.xml. It works.

The direct link for the XML file is: here

Open the file to make sure it is in XML format. And try again?

While this is an old issue, I fear this will happen to a bunch of other people, so here's the cause and the solution :

Turns out, saving the XML file using CTRL+S on your browser while viewing the raw XML file using the links provided in the Readme will save a CDATA of the HTML-encoded xml file, and so they won't be able to be read by Notepad++.

The solution is to copy-paste the xml, or clone/download the repo in a zip, and copy the userDefinedLang XML file you want and paste it in your %APPDATA%\Notepad++\userDefineLangs folder.

Moral of the story : Don't save files using CTRL+S when viewing raw files directly from GitHub on your browser.

Have re-written README.md that suggest downloading from latest release page.

Thankfully Notepad++ , from v7.6.4 , delegates a folder <userDefineLangs\> to collect your favorite UDLs.

I would consider this issue solved. Thanks for rising this question! 🍕
