How can I modify Notepad++ here delim?

Question

I want to document bash scripts with perl pod comments, as explained here.

cat<<=cut
perlpod
=cut

Unfortunately, notepad++ does not consider the = character as being part of the here delim, resulting in unusable syntax highlighting.

How can I change the definition of the here delim?

I looked at UDL but I'd rather change the existing bash definition than redefine it from scratch. If changing UDL is the way, then where can I find the default bash UDL?

Answer 1

I think if you import the default bash in the "Language > Define Your Language..." and change the HERE DELIM default keywords you will be able to add the "=" sign there.

I have not tried this myself to be honest but that is a possible way of doing it.
