To get LESS syntax highlighting, you need to download and import a custom language file. Here are some links to language files:

Installation Instructions from the GitHub Repository :

  • Download less.xml file
  • Open Notepad ++
  • Go to Language -> Define your language... , click Import... and select the less.xml file that you downloaded
  • Close and restart Notepad ++
  • Done

Another way to install language files is to copy them to a file in the Notepad ++ installation directory .
