Syntax Highlighting for Kivy files in Notepad++

What is it?

In Notepad++ you can define your own language syntax highlighting which is then saved to an .xml file and that's it. A syntax highlighting for KV language. The highlighting works in recent versions - tested on 6.9.1.

How to use it

• Clone the repo or download KVlang.xml file
• Open Notepad++
• Go to:
  • Language
  • Define your language
  • Import
  • Select the .xml file you've downloaded
• Close and restart Notepad++

If you don't want to restart, close & open .kv files, highlighting will become active, however you won't see Kivy in Language menu until the restart.

How to contribute

• Read notepad++ UDL docs
• Clone repo
• Import .xml
• Make changes
• Export .xml
• Make a pull request

• Or create an issue about what should be included/changed

Notes

The color scheme is purposedly built for dark-background themes. To use it with a bright one, either make global font bold or darken your background a little bit. Alternatively, feel free to contribute a color scheme for bright themes.

File test.kv is included only to test highlighting and shouldn't be used as some sort of learning language example.

Fail to Import

Importing the XML file into the current version of Notepad++ leads to a simply dialog saying "Fail to Import." I'm not surprised as there is a three year difference, just wasn't sure if you were still maintaining this and maybe just hadn't uploaded to github.
