Explenation

Notepad++ is a powerful text editor that implements some basic tagging and formatting that gives it some limited IDE Functionality. It is equipped with many languages by default and can format their text automatically based on the file extension. It also allows you to create your own User Defined Languages (UDLs) to format other filetypes in a custom manner. This page includes two UDLs for viewing MIB files in NotePad++, both UDLs are identical in function but one has the colors modified for better viewing for those who prefer Notepad++'s 'darkmode' view.

Installation

For installation open your UserDefinedLanguage folder, generally found at:
```
.\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\userDefineLangs
```

Or find it via the NotePad++ drop down menu under:

Languages -> User Defined Languages -> Open User Defined Language Folder

Unzip the zipped folder below and find two .xml files 'userDefineLang-MIB.xml' for Lightmode users, and 'userDefineLang-MIB-DM.xml' for Darkmode users.

Copy both, or just the desired UDL from that zipped folder into the UserDefinedLanguage folder mentioned above.

Restart your Notepad++ Application

Open the desired file and apply the language through the same menu.
```
Languages -> MIB/MIB (Dark Mode)
```
