Is there a notepad++ plugin that makes JSP comments format correctly?

I would love Notepad++ to show the comments correctly (see screenshot)

Is there any plugin that takes care of it? Or is there an开发者_Go百科y way I can get it to default to another languages' formatting when I load a JSP file?

It seems that the JSP syntax highlighter uses the VB rules between <% %> tags.

Since Notepad++ 5.6.5 which was released only 5 monts ago there's a builtin JSP syntax highlighter. Are you using the right version? If it's behaving buggy, you'd better report a bug to the Notepad++ guys.

It seems that the current JSP support is really just relabelled ASP support, so the Java specific parts of this are broken. (This also explains why if you put a single-quote in the text of a server-side comment, it highlights that part of the comment but not the rest of it.)

Because grokking a JSP file properly will require parsing some ASP-like syntax and JavaScript-like syntax this really needs to be fixed upstream in the Scintilla project.

Scintilla currently has four feature requests for this, of various vintage since 2005... and yes I know this thread is four years old, but nothing much seems to have changed. I'll have a look in my spare time at how easy it would be to enhance the cut-and-paste of ASP that's currently there into something better, starting with comments as it's annoying the heck out of me too.

I know it is a really old question, but I had the same problem and I solved it just modifying the file style.model.xml in the directory Programs/Notepad++ in this way:

1. Copy and paste the node LexerType with name="asp"
2. Rename the new node with name="jsp" desc="JSP" ext="jsp"
3. Eventually place it in the right alphabtical order (just for finding purpose)
4. Save
5. Restart notepad++

The result should be like this:

<LexerType name="jsp" desc="JSP" ext="jsp">
  <WordsStyle name="DEFAULT" styleID="81" fgColor="8000FF" bgColor="C4F9FD" fontName="" fontStyle="0" fontSize="" />
