It can also create help files for Crossfire (see option --crossfire) or a user defined language (udl) with auto completion for use with Notepad++ (--notepad). The last command creates to files. One file is the auto completion file, which should be copied into the plugins\APIs folder within your Notepad++ directory. The other file, with a name ending with -udl, is the definition of the udl. To import this file, start Notepad++ and choose Import in the udl dialog, which can be found within the View menu. After next restart of Notepad++, you can use the auto completion and syntax highlighting for your configuration files after choosing the new udl at the language menu.
