=Introduction=
Notepad++ (also called Notepad Plus Plus) is a free editor which can be downloaded from [[httphttps://notepad-plus-plus.org/ notepad-plus-plus.org]]. It has some functionality that makes it preferable as a editor for creating TUFLOW control files. This functionality includes:
* Colour coding of TUFLOW files (syntax highlighting). '''Thanks to Edenvale Young putting together the syntax highlighting file.'''
* Ability to start a TUFLOW simulation using the currently open files as the .tcf input.
* Ability to highlight a filename and open the file directly. For example from a .tcf a a geometry control file (.tgc) can be opened directly from the TUFLOW control file (.tcf) without having to locate it in ana explorer style menu.
A video tutorial on how to set up these features is presented here: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=407&v=rHEhScXer6E TUFLOW YouTube channel]]<br><br>

=Useful Plugins=
The following plugins can be useful when using Notepad++ (not just for TUFLOW modelling)! Please feel free to add any suggestions either via the discussion page, or via email to support@tuflow.com.
* [httphttps://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-compare/ npp-compare (compare files side-by-side)]
* ''Runme'': Available through the Notepad++ Plugin Manager. This will allow you to run batch files directly from Notepad++.
