Trying to find a syntax highlighter for ColdFusion in Notepad++

Question

I use CFEclipse for most of my projects and heavy lifting but sometimes I find the need to do a quick fix on pages outside the project scope that is easier to accomplish in

Just a comment about Tony's answer (Aug 22 '14 at 13:00) : he wrote "In notepadd ++, go to 'Plugins'> 'Plugin Manager'> 'show plugin manager'."

However, in ver. 6.8 (maybe since before), there's no "Plugins" menu item on the menu bar. What I had to do is: 1- From the User Defined Language Page http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php?title=User_Defined_Language_Files Download the ColdFusion User Defined Language file http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/commun/userDefinedLang/userDefineLang_CF9.xml Into the Notepad++ Folder

2- From the User Defined Language panel, import that file: Language > Define your language... then press the Import button

ColdFusion will then appear at the bottom of the Language menu item selection list, and NotePad++ will automatically use it for any .CF file you open.
