Notepad2
Just in case anyone else here uses Notepad2 to write their NSIS scripts, I've rebuilt Notepad2 v2.1.19 with the latest highlighting.

For those that have not heard of Notepad2, it's an excellent replacement for Notepad which is still very simple like the original program yet very handy for coding.

I can also recommend Notepad++ as editor for coding.
It also comes with NSIS syntax highlightning and many more.

Yep you should notice Notepad2 and Notepad++ highlight NSIS script the same way as they both use the open source Scintilla engine. All I had to do was add a list of NSIS keywords in specific highlighting categories (and turn off case sensitivity).

I uploaded Notepad2 2.0.18 with NSIS highlighting in August last year but possibly neglected to mention it for some reason. Sorry Anders!
