I use Notepad++ as my main editing tool. I want to write a plugin for it for a feature I'd like to implement, but am unsure of how to go about it.

Are there any guides / blogs / tutorials that can point me in the right direction for creating a new plugin?

After looking closer at the main notepad++ site, I found this wiki. Looks pretty in-depth. http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/notepad-plus/index.php?title=Plugin_Development (link not working)

Here is a copy of the page from the internet archive... http://web.archive.org/web/20140328055927/http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/notepad-plus/index.php?title=Plugin_Development

Correct link : https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/plugins/
