Released Versions

  • 1.5.6 (2026-01-02)

    • Changed: the About dialog can be translated into more languages without rebuilding the plugin (see CONTRIBUTING)
    • Changed: release archives are now published by GitHub Actions
    • Changed: all documentation and help links now point to GitHub
  • 1.5.5 (2025-10-28)
    • Fixed: ignore stray ﹤ characters when searching for start tags (#6, #15) 3db20ae
    • Changed: translating the About dialog no longer requires a resource file ca3e62c

  • 1.5.4 (2025-06-18)
    • Fixed: HTML entities will be decoded even if the current selection contains a colon (:) fd48ac0, regressed in 139908f

Note
This release includes all the same features and bug fixes as v1.5.3

  • 1.5.2 (2024-12-31)
    • Fixed: don’t auto-decode entities farther back in the current line when the ENTER key is pressed (#12) 55d5d22, 6e3800c
    • Fixed: calling a plugin command in the second Scintilla view will affect only that view, regressed in v1.5.0/1 (#11) 6b9fb52
    • Fixed: more regressions with tag matching (#10) 5939c09 and tag selection e0194fd
    • Changed: dialog translation strings are now saved in a dialogs.ini file1 located in {%AppData%\Notepad++,$(PORTABLE_NPP_DIR)}\plugins\Config\HTMLTag 0a4c16e
    • Changed: Windows XP is no longer supported f8bfd81. Note that Notepad++ requires at least Windows 7 since version 8.4.7
    • Added: new option2 to show an autocompletion list of entities when editing XML or HTML-based files 97d783e

1. Edits to dialogs.ini are applied immediately. However, changing the window position of translation text is not possible without editing the language’s RC script and rebuilding the plugin. The main purpose of editable dialog text is to help future translators preview their work. (Since v1.5.5, translated text is automatically positioned according to a best-effort algorithm.)

2. If you are upgrading, note that new menu items will not be translated until you delete or rename the localizations.ini file in {%AppData%\Notepad++,$(PORTABLE_NPP_DIR)}\plugins\Config\HTMLTag
