Notepad++ - highlight custom keywords

notepad++

Solution

For those that are visting this page (by a google search for example), there is an answer for the Ruby language given here. But as it works the same way for every other language, `BoltClock` answer is suitable for [given] language.

In short: Go to Settings > Style Configurator > Choose language > Click at KEYWORD / INSTRUCTION and add your own keyword.

Problem

Is there any way for Notepad++ to highlight syntax with user added keywords, WITHOUT defining new language? I'd like to add highlighting for TODO/TBD/FIXME and some other, project specific keywords. Is that even possible?
