我应该在 Notepad++ 中使用什么语言选项和我的 windows 主机文件以提高可读性？

Question

Maybe this is a silly question, but today I was working in my hosts file (C:\windows\system32\drivers\hosts) in notepad++ and would like to use the language formatting.

For example, the first line appears to be a comment

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.

What language do I choose to view the file?

Answer 1

The hosts file is not written in any programming language. It's simply plain text in a format easily parseable by certain system and network applications. Besides, anyone can come up with a parser that treats text delimited by # as comment lines.

(And in case you didn't get the hint, choose the option that I highlighted in bold.)

Answer 2

try Nncrontab language, it's easy to read if you have to maintain big host files. With comment at the end of the line, the display is better than Perl or ini language.
