I am great fan of Notepad ++ for all text editing needs from plan text file to xml files. Notepad++ has very robust plugin framework and many useful plugins already developed. I wanted to install XML Tool plugin to NPP , I thought it would be as straight forward as any other plugin installations. But I have straggled lot while installing XML Tool plugin , at the end I have succeed
Here I am putting my endeavor
- Download Notepad ++ from here and install it.
- Download XML Tools plugin from here and unzip it <Install_Home>/plugin folder.
- Please note that external libs are required. It has been documented that I can be loaded the 'Notepad++ Plugins' project page. Here the problem starts, I didn’t find any such link where I can download external libs.
- Go to Plugins >> Plugin Manager >> Show Plugin Manager, select “Installed” tab and select “XML Tools” and click on reinstall.
Now you are get set to use XML Tools plugin.
It was very helpful! Months we have wondered why the plugin stopped working after the Notepad++ update. Thanks for the informative blog!
