Plugins

Using plugins programmers gain access to the workings of PN, and can adapt it to their own purposes providing functions that Echo Software has not / cannot! Plugins are basically DLLs which Programmer’s Notepad calls at pre-determined times.

The Plugin SDK defines the plugin interface for PN 1. We have successfully developed plugins in both Delphi and Visual C++ using
this interface.

The Plugin SDK

Schemes

Schemes define the way that languages are highlighted in Programmer’s Notepad.

Version 1 uses TSyntaxMemo, a Delphi component, to provide syntax highlighting. Schemes are defined using TSyntaxMemo syntax scripts. You can download a “Scheme SDK” to help you make these scripts, and a compiler for the scripts which will produce the proper scheme files for you and provide error information.
