No Z-Sharp (Z#) #103

Closed KostyaTheSon closed 2 years ago

pryrt commented 2 years ago

The maintainers of this UDL repository are here to facilitate adding UDLs that other people have already created to the repository/list. We are not able to create a brand new UDL every time someone finds a language that doesn't have a UDL yet (we don't necessarily know the language, and it really takes a user of a language to make a good UDL for that language).

Instead, we rely on users to submit the UDLs that they created to share with the Notepad++ user-base at large.

So if you have a Z# UDL that you'd like to share here, feel free to submit it as a pull request -- or at least attach the XML to this issue and "reopen"

"UDL" in this context is a User Defined Language for Notepad++ -- the way of defining syntax highlighting for langauges that aren't built into Notepad++ . As "userDefinedLanguage" is in the literal name of this repository, I didn't think it was necessary to explain my abbreviation in my original reply; sorry for that assumption. I was not trying to say that Z# has some feature called "UDL" that I wanted you to share. I was trying to tell you that we will not fill out the User Defined Language dialog in Notepad++ for you. If you create a UDL definition for the Z# language, and want to share it with other Notepad++ users, then you may feel free to create it and then share it here.

I have no idea what the "SDL" means in relation to Z# (maybe a Specification and Description Language, or maybe a Simple DirectMedia Layer) -- but none of those matter at all to creating a User Defined Langauge to do Z# syntax highlighting in Notepad++.

Notepad++ the application does not have a built-in syntax highlighter for Z#. This repository cannot create a built-in highlighter for you. This repostiory is for housing User Defined Langauges that users have already created and shared with us. Until you or someone else creates a UDL definition for Z# and shares it, there will not be a User Defined Language for Z# in this repository.
