UDL file for Notepad++

Question

Hi,

I'd like to get JQL added as a UDL in Notepad++ to have syntax highlighting.

(yes, I know that might sound odd but I am used to that, so don't blame me :-))

Unfortunately it looks like Notepad++ doesn't have that language xml in their current list.

Is there anyone that has such an xml of knows where to get it?

I understand wanting JQL highlighting in Notepad++. Since it’s missing, you could create a custom UDL XML or try an alternative editor like https://editpad.id/ which may suit your workflow needs.

Hi, @Arndt Schaefer Welcome to Atlassian Community! Made (with gpt help) such UDL, which seems to work. Tested it in my Notepad++. Used Atlassian JQL cheat sheet, to teach gpt, what are correct functins/operators/etc...
