To enable the colour coding (syntax highlighting) in Notepad++:

  • Ensure that you have downloaded the Notepad++ Syntax Highlighting File from the TUFLOW website (http://www.tuflow.com/Tuflow%20Utilities.aspx).
  • Select the User Defined Dialogue (lightning symbol, circled in red below) from the menu toolbars.

  • In the dialogue, select Import
  • Navigate to and select the Notepad++ syntax highlighting xml file.
  • Restart Notepad++.
  • The colouring should now be associated with .tcf, .tgc, .tbc, .tmf and .ecf files.


Note: When updating the syntax highlighting file with a newer version, remember to first remove the existing "TUFLOW" language definition.

  • Select "TUFLOW" for the user language options
  • Select "Remove"
