Using Notepad++ as a visual Script/XML editor for OUAF config tools

As you know, Notepad++ is a free editing tool and One of its features is the ability to have additional languages defined which allows code mark-up.

To Setup OUAF-ConfigTool as New Language in Notepad++:

1. If you don’t have Notepad++, download and install Notepad++ from any source (for example: http://notepad-plus-plus.org/)
2. Create "configTools.xml" file into your local drive/pc with the below XML content (I am not able attach a file in the blog?).
3. Install the User-Defined Language (UDL) for OUAF Config Tools by doing the following steps after launching Notepad++:

• Select Language > Define your language ... from the menus.
• Click Import.
• Select your local copy of configTools.xml, then click Open.
• An "Import successful." dialog box will come up.
• Close the confirmation dialog box and restart Notepad++.
• You would now see "ConfigTools" as an option (near the bottom) when you click Language from the menu.

To use the OUAF Config Tools language definition:

1. Edit or paste a config tools text into Notepad++.
2. Select Language > ConfigTools from the menu.
3. Your text will now be treated as a ConfigTools and will be marked-up as such.
