Notepad++ - HTML on new document?

[Psy]

Is there anyway to set up Notepad++ so when a new document is made it has all the HTML content you would usually expect there (the tags, doctypes, etc) all ready to be used?

Do you mean like a page template?

[Psy]

Exactly that.

Exactly that.

Um, why not just create a template html file that you copy and edit?

I think this may be able to help: aztecpassage.blogspot.com

Also, Notepad++ rocks! I don't know how I'd manage without it.

If you claim it's so awesome why doesn't it have that option built in. I've never used it so maybe I'm wrong. Download Aptana studio it's got a free version and will come in handy for more complex stuff as well. If you create an html file or .css it will give you the basic tags that you need to begin with. You can also download plugins for other stuff. Enjoy!

It is built in. The way I do it is set-up my HTML that I want on a new page and then start recording a new macro. Paste the code in and then stop recording. Save the macro and assign it to a hot key and it will work every time

I suspected it already had it built-in, but I hadn't bothered finding out since I created a default HTML and CSS template to start each new project.
I'll give that a try though, sounds interesting.

I prefer this plugin for Notepad++ - http://sourceforge.net/projects/quicktext/

It doesn't come with the program but once installed you can type 'html' and it will render the whole template for you. It works for other shortcuts like p or span. It can be customised as well.

Well worth trying

Excellent. Works a treat. Thanks.
