====== Syntax Tools ======
{{ :plugins:syntax-tools.png?nolink|Syntax Tools in HippoEDIT}} The Syntax Tools plug-in contains functions that can help you in creating a new syntax schema. So, from now on, if you want to create a syntax schema for a missing language, the recommended way would be to download one of the existing syntax definitions from other editors and convert them to HippoEDIT syntax with the help of this plug-in. 

It's possible that the result of the conversion will __not__ be a perfect, errorless HippoEDIT syntax schema, but it will, at least, be a good start. If you have several sources for conversion, usually the best import result is from UltraEdit, followed by TextPad and lastly PSPad.

Th plug-in provides the following functions, available from Syntax menu and as commands:
  * **Import UltraEDIT syntax...** - import UltraEdit syntax files (*.uew) that can be found [[http://www.ultraedit.com/downloads/extras.html|here]].
  * **Import TextPad syntax...** - import TextPad syntax files (*.syn). Available TextPad syntax definitions can be downloaded [[http://www.textpad.com/add-ons/syna2g.html|here]].
  * **Import PSPad syntax...** - import PSPad syntax files (*.in). Check for PSPad syntax definitions on [[http://www.pspad.com/fr/pspad-extensions.php?kategorie=3|PSPad web site]] (you need to extract *.ini from zip archive on site). 
  * **Load Syntax** - reload HippoEDIT syntax definition, without restarting of HippoEDIT itself.
