Notepad++ is a free, open-source code editor designed to replace Notepad. It supports multiple programming languages and runs on Microsoft Windows. Users can also define custom languages for syntax highlighting and folding.

Notepad++ enhances coding productivity with color-printed source code and multi-document editing. Work on multiple files simultaneouslyโ€”or even edit the same document in two synchronized split views. The interface supports full drag-and-drop functionality for seamless workflow customization.

This project, built on the powerful Scintilla editing component written in C++ using the Win32 API and STL, is released under the GPL License. This combination ensures high performance and compact program size.

The supported programming languages: ASP, Ada, ASCII artwork, Assembly, AutoIt, BAT, C, C#, C++, Caml, CSS, Doxygen, FORTRAN, HTML, Haskell, Java, javascript, KiXtart, Lisp, Lua, makefile, Matlab, Objective-C, Pascal, Perl, PHP, PostScript, Python, Ruby, Scheme, Unix Shell Script, Smalltalk, SQL, Tcl, TeX, Verilog, VHDL, VB/VBScript, XML.
