If you would like improvements to how Notepad++ uses or implements UDLs, you will have to check if the [Notepad++ Issues](https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues) already has an issue for your request, and if not, make the request there. Any feature requests for the system made in the Collection's repository will be moved to the Notepad++ issues list if possible, or will be closed with a message that says it was requested in the wrong place. + +The maintainers of this Collection do not have the knowledge to make a custom User Defined Language definition on request -- you likely know your Language much better that we do. It is super simple to make your own UDL: paste your language's keywords into one or more of the eight keywords sections, put the appropriate operators into the operators inputs, possibly add some limiters (like quote-pairs or parentheses pairs) and/or comments definitions and/or folding definitions; set the colors to match your desire, and enjoy. You can see the online User Manual's [UDL description](https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/user-defined-language-system/) with the details on what all of those mean, and how to use it. Once you have a working UDL, you can share it with others by [Contributing to the Collection](https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md). Any feature requests in this Collection's repository to "create the UDL definition for me" will be rejected: sorry.
