-**Open a new instance of Xtherion with the currently active file using Ctrl + shift + X**
+**User defined language (UDL) styler for survex and for therion**
-Modified keyboard shortcuts to include opening therion using Ctrl+Alt X
+The old legacy way of adding new UDLs to NotePad++ was to edit the file userDefineLang.xml in ''%APPDATA%\Notepad++''
+Nowadays there is a userDefineLangs folder in which you can add your individual UDL xml files.  The easiest way to navigate here is to use the NotePad++ menu sequence ''Language.UserDefinedLanguage.OpenUserDefinedLanguageFolder...''.  It will open the folder in Explorer.
+You can build your own UDL interactively by using a built-in dialog accessed via menu ''Languages.DefineYourLanguage...''  or you can copy a pre-built UDL from {{https://github.com/CaverBruce/NP-plus-plus-CaveUDL|NP-plus-plus-CaveUDL}}
-For Therion 5.3.14 and later, add this line to the file ''%APPDATA%\Notepad++\shortcuts.xml'' ...
