### Introduction
Sometimes I want to edit a .feature file and don’t have Visual Studio handy, so I decided to create a syntax highlighter for [Notepad++][1].

To install it, simply download and extract it. Open Notepad++ and open the *User Defined* dialogue from the *View* menu. Click on import and browse to the extracted Gherkin.xml file. If you open a .feature file from Notepad++, it should now have some color coding.
