There's a Notepad++ configuration file provided in the distribution here <https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/contrib/Julia_Notepad++.xml>. One limitation is that it doesn't highlight symbols (like *:something*) and always treats : as an operator. IJulia on the other hand is smart enough to highlight them with a custom style. Is there a way to do this in Notepad++? I haven't been able to get it to work without catching at least one trailing character. -A
