How to highlight tpl file?

Question

I'm using NOTPAD++ and I wonder how I can highlight codes in tpl files.

I googled online and there are answers but none of them works. For intance, http://sourceforge.net/p/notepad-plus/discussion/331753/thread/3067a53d/

Any ideas?

Or any other better programmes than NOTEPAD++ for highlighting codes in tpl files?

The following method is compatible with Sublime Text 2 and 3.

Open your .tpl file in Sublime Text
In the Sublime Text menu, navigate to Preferences → Package Control
From the drop-down list choose Package Control: Install Package
Type "smarty" and Sublime Text Smarty should appear in the search results. Click it to install.
In the menu you can now navigate to View → Syntax → Smarty to enable Smarty syntax highlighting for your document.

More information about this package can be viewed here.

If you end up with the Command Palette (the drop-down part of the UI) still open after installing the package, you can press Ctrl Shift P, or on Mac Cmd Shift P, to toggle it closed again.

Step 1) Run Notepad++ using from “Run as Administrator”.
Step 2) Go to “Settings”->”Style Configurator”.
Step 3) Add in the .tpl extension name into the “User ext” column by choosing PHP or html as a Language on from the options on left hand selection box.
Step 4) Click Save & Close on next.

selecting php would be more adequate, because includes html and php. Selecting html includes only html. – NoWomenNoCry Sep 21 '17 at 09:27

My search for a good and free Smarty Editor, resulted in Netbeans with a Smarty Plugin (named PHP Smarty Framework). I am an eclipse user, whenever I need to work on views (templates) I switch to Netbeans. But, I accept this as a Temporary solution and looking for a working smarty plugin for Eclipse.
