Then I hope you are prepared to wait quite a bit longer. As Notepad++ does not have Language Server Protocol (LSP) support. So adding this functionality is totally out of scope right now because it would require a totally custom parser. There are [projects](https://github.com/Ekopalypse/NppLspClient) working on this. But it is all very early stage.

No offence to molsonkiko, but the documentation isn't the greatest on this feature. There's just not enough decent examples, for me at least. Hope this helps somebody out there!
is there a way to change the text format like in the given link
