Notepad++ Color Coding for Tabling (Download)
So, I forgot that I had whipped up a nifty little set of keywords colorization for table file work in Notepad++.

It's pretty straightforward and focuses on common keywords; colorization is as follows:
The Name header for any entry- $Name:
Keywords pertaining to in-game stats or performance- $Damage: (actually more readable than that, bbcode doens't have the exact shade)
Keywords pertaining to "cosmetic" features/stats- $Bitmap:

Get it here!
Installation? Just drop the file into your Notepad++ "Roaming" folder. For me, the path is "C:/Users/(Username)/AppData/Roaming/Notepad++".

I'd be the first to admit that this is pretty basic, and has a couple of hiccups, like when a fairly common word is used in both a "cosmetic" and a "statistic" data entry.... f.ex "radius". I don't think there's a way to add smarter conditional coloring to NP++, but I'll take what I can get. Download, comment, and if any NP++ wizards know how I can make this better (not simply expanding the keyword library, mind you) please don't hesitate to let me know.

Re: Notepad++ Color Coding for Tabling (Download)
ive been using my own scheme for years. it really comes in handy. though i use an on black approach because white backgrounds cause me to get distracted by my eye floaties. relay annoying (also why i dont spend too much time on many other forums). notepad++ is also good for those lua files and scripting tables you might also be using so its a good all around editor for freespace modding with something like this.
