Getting the matlab r2009b multiline comment syntax highlighting in Notepad++

MATLABnotepadsyntax highlighting

I have Notepad++ version 6.1.8
How can I configure it to highlight the matlab multiline comment %{ … %} as a comment block?

—EDIT—

I read here that this feature was added to Notepad++ in April, so I downloaded the latest Notepad++ (6.4.5) and installed it over my older 6.1 version, but it still does not highlight Matlab block comments. What should I do to get this feature working?

Best Answer

Changing the default line in the file langs.model.xml to <Language name="matlab" ext="m" commentLine="%" commentStart="%{" commentEnd="%}"> will do the trick. But it is not going to work because notepad++ shall match the % in %{ as the start of a single line comment and not try to match it for a multiline comment. The same goes of %}

Sorry to provide you a solution that is not going to work :-/
