Thank you GP for your feedback. I thought to a special AFL addon dedicated to NP++ or an unseen parameter or weird name functionality.
I will use your way, place a pair of braces then I'll include the code, NP++ shows the indent with a vertical line to help. NP++ is easier to read with the collapse level than with AB editor.
