DIY notepad++，MarkDown(Obsidian) User-Defined-Language for Notepad++2.1(syntax highlight)

I found that Markdown is really suitable for me who won’t open the ms word but open a text editor. But my favorite notepad++ does not have the markdown syntax highlighting for dark theme, and I have no search, what should I do? Just make one, and share it!

#1. Intro

I started writing markdown documents with Notepad++ and awesome plugin MarkdownViewerPlusPlus .

One of my installed plugin give me a markdown language format:“Markdown(default)” in User Defined Languages. But it’s designed for light backgroud so it’s not suitable for me.So I made a dark view format, based on Obsidian-theme and that default markdown format.
