You can install with default options and so you just click Next, Next, Next and Finish :-). You still have to enable Python in PN which is a bit more effort but this is really a bit and opens new world for you :-). To be more exact you need to download PyPN zip and extract it to th PN folder. Then you just run <code>pn --findexts</code>.</p> <p>This is all described here:<br /> <a href="http://www.pnotepad.org/add-ons/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pnotepad.org/add-ons/</a> </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/5448#post-8312 Sun, 11 Sep 2011 16:34:09 +0000 HeelX 8312@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>@simon: Thanks for your reply. I changed it to:</p> <p>Command: C:\Windows\hh.exe<br /> Parameters: D:\Dev\Engines\A8.30.1\3dgs_manual.chm</p> <p>The output says: "&gt; "C:\Windows\hh.exe" D:\Dev\Engines\A8.30.1\3dgs_manual.chm"</p> <p>but it still doesn't open. I also tried to use both C:\Windows and D:\Dev\Engines\A8.30.1 as Folder, but it doesn't matter. I tried it in the cmd commandline with the following line:</p> <p>C:\Windows\hh.exe D:\Dev\Engines\A8.30.1\3dgs_manual.chm</p> <p>and the .chm gets correctly opened.</p> <p>@Nux: Thank you very much, this looks interesting. But before I use this, it would be quiet helpful if I can open the CHM just on pressing F1. If this works, I will turn to this for sure :-) Am I right that this is a Python script and I have to install Python for it?

The CHM Help script could determine which help file to open by looking at active scheme. It's not just Pascal, I have a bunch of languages to support as well. Is there any way to debug script from pnotepad? The pn interface is surely invisible outside pnotepad. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/5166#post-7657 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 20:53:34 +0000 Nux 7657@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Maybe the section is malformed somehow.</p> <p>BTW. I use a different script myself: <a href="http://enux.pl/download/pn2/php.py">php.py</a>. This is PHP specific, but I'm sure you can change it to work with Pascal. I don't have to worry about selected word as I use a tool definition with %w param.<br /> <code><br /> Command: python<br /> Folder: $(PNPath)\scripts\tools<br /> Parameters: php.py %w<br /> </code></p> <p>Note that you can unpack chm to see it's structure. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/5166#post-7655 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 02:32:20 +0000 leledumbo 7655@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>I'd like to improve PyPN CHM Help script so that if there's no selection, it takes a word around the cursor, if the character at the current position is an alphabet. Here's what I've done:</p> <pre><code>def expandWord(s): st = s.CurrentPos - 1 while chr(s.GetCharAt(st)).isalpha(): st -= 1 ed = s.CurrentPos + 1 while chr(s.GetCharAt(ed)).isalpha(): ed += 1 return s.GetTextRange(st + 1,ed) @script(&quot;CHM help&quot;, &quot;HELP&quot;) def Help(): doc = pn.CurrentDoc() if doc is not None: s = scintilla.Scintilla(doc) sch = doc.CurrentScheme config = ConfigParser.ConfigParser() config.read(&#39;plugin.ini&#39;) chm_path = config.get(sch, &#39;chm_path&#39;, 0) if chr(s.GetCharAt(s.CurrentPos)).isalpha(): selLen = s.SelectionEnd - s.SelectionStart selText = s.SelText if selLen &gt; 0 else expandWord(s) if test_import(&#39;win32help&#39;): import win32help win32help.HtmlHelp(0, None, win32help.HH_INITIALIZE, None) link = win32help.HH_AKLINK() link.indexOnFail = 1 link.keywords = selText link.url = &quot;&quot; link.msgText = &quot;&quot; link.msgTitle = &quot;&quot; link.window = &quot;&quot; win32help.HtmlHelp(0, chm_path, win32help.HH_KEYWORD_LOOKUP, link) elif os.path.isfile(os.environ[&quot;WINDIR&quot;]+&quot;\keyHH.exe&quot;): os.popen (&quot;keyHH.exe -#klink &quot; + s.SelText + &quot; &quot; + chm_path) else: pn.AddOutput(&quot;win32help api and keyHH.exe not found, falling back to hh.exe&quot;) os.popen(&quot;hh &quot; + chm_path)</code></pre> <p>as you can see, the difference lies only in the addition of expandWord method and the way to retrieve the keyword. However, upon execution it gives me:</p> <p>Python error: &lt;class 'ConfigParser.NoSectionError'&gt;: No section: 'pascal'</p> <p>even though I have [pascal] with chm_path key defined. The weird thing is, when I revert it back to the original script, it works like a charm. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/500#post-1760 Tue, 16 Dec 2008 19:50:37 +0000 simon 1760@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>There is the start of some documentation here: <a href="http://pnotepad.org/docs/howto/add_support_for_your_language" rel="nofollow">http://pnotepad.org/docs/howto/add_support_for_your_language</a> </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/500#post-1756 Mon, 15 Dec 2008 01:50:58 +0000 Swoop 1756@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Is there one? </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/414#post-1602 Wed, 06 Aug 2008 04:49:10 +0000 johnwinterflood 1602@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>A problem with Google's "issues" page in this regard is that it only offers two templates: "User Defect Report" or "Developer Defect Report", neither of which is suitable for an "Enhancement Request".</p> <p>So I wonder how you get it to end up showing "Enhancement" under the "Type" column in the list?

To cut to the quick, basically, I need help setting up a C compiler with PN2. Here's the whole story...</p> <p>I really want to get into programming AVR microcontrollers, so I figured that I'd need to learn C first (I'm using the Kernighan &#38; Ritchie book). I went ahead and installed the latest WinAVR package, which includes PN2, but my problem is that PN2 didn't come with a C compiler to compile small "learning" programs for DOS/Win...</p> <p>It was suggested that I install Dev-C++ v4, since it comes with a compiler that allows you to create .EXE files that can be run from DOS/Win. I did that, and it works great for all of the "practice" programs that I've been writing to help me learn C, but I REALLY hate the look and feel of Dev-C++ (and I LOVE the look/feel of PN2).</p> <p>So, the big question is, can anyone help me configure PN2 to use a C compiler that I can use to compile the programs that I write from my training book into .EXE files that can be executed in DOS/Win.? It may be a very basic question for some of you, but since I just started learning about C a few weeks ago (I still don't really know anything about compilers, makefiles, etc.), I really have no idea what needs to be done to make this work.</p> <p>I've tried searching the forums and the PN2 documentation, but I can't seem to find any step-by-step instructions on how to get a DOS/Win. C compiler set up in PN2. If anyone could spend a few minutes to help a newbie out, I would really appreciate it!</p> <p>Thanks!<br /> -Lee </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/50#post-1024 Sun, 23 Sep 2007 07:31:41 +0000 cane 1024@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>PING<br /> Any news on this? </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/186#post-842 Sat, 26 May 2007 13:52:48 +0000 jumpfroggy 842@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>"Simon, is there some kind of list of all the keyboard commands?
