      Hi,

      In the tab “Operators and Delimiters” it would be useful to have a begin-of-line delimiter similar to the ((EOL)) used for the end-of-line; this would allow the use of a single common character (like for example #, >, !) in the first position as an open delimiter to create many formatting styles for an entire line.

      Regards

      Stefano

        @stefano-miglioranzi ,

        Interesting idea. As the FAQ explains, we fellow users in the Community Forum cannot make changes to the Notepad++ code from the forum; feature requests have a separate process described in this FAQ.

        And, as a side note: despite many requests, there have been no improvements to the UDL system in years, so even if you make a feature request, it is unfortunately likely that nothing will come of that request; I think the developer feels that UDL is “good enough” as it currently stands, and that people who need more should look into developing a Lexer Plugin that can have more features than the current UDL interface.
