Step-by-step guide

Languages installation

Open the Notepad++ editor
Open the "Language" menu and select "Define your language..." option
Click on the "Import..." button and select the downloaded xml files, one file at a time
Close the "User defined language" window and close Notepad++ too

Usage

When you open a configuration file using Notepad++, the language will be detected automatically and used thanks to the .cfg file extension
When you open a log file using Notepad++, the language will not be applied automatically as the .log extension is used in several softwares
If you open a log file or a configuration file without a .cfg extension, open the "Language" menu and select either CharonCFG or CharonLOG language ( the language has to be selected each time a log file is opened)
The editor might take some time to apply the syntax highlighting if your log file contains lots of lines.
