Notepad++ with MX2

I was using the editor that comes with MX2, from Christmas, and it has a tendency to not list a bunch of the messages sent from the MX2 compiler. So I altered my original Monkey X UDL (User Defined Language) for MX2 and have provided instructions on how to compile with Notepad++.

Running Monkey X 2 Instructions (2nd section): https://bitbucket.org/Goodlookinguy/notepad-udl-collection/src/default/README.md

MX2 UDL: https://bitbucket.org/Goodlookinguy/notepad-udl-collection/src/default/MX2.xml

To import the XML (UDLs) into Notepad++

1. Go to menu and click "Language", then "Define your language..."
2. Click "Import..." near the top of the box.
3. Select the XML file provided and then after it is loaded in, close that box.
4. I'd recommend restarting Notepad++. Then drag-and-drop your files and run them with the provided instructions given above.

Enjoy. If this stops working (something changes with MX2 compiler), start an issue at the bitbucket page or tell me here.

That's awesome. I was just thinking about using Notepad++ for Monkey 1. It's great to hear someone thought the same way about Monkey 2.
