Installation

To install the Preview plugin, you can go about it in the following ways:

  1. Using the Plugin Admin (since Notepad++ version 7.6)
  2. Manually

Using the Plugin Admin

Unfortunately, this Preview plugin is not listed in the Plugin Admin. For now, the only way is to install it manually.

Manual installation

  1. Check if you've got a 64-bits version of Notepad++, or a 32-bits version.
  2. Download the relevant latest version of the plugin:
  3. Extract the zip file to the plugins directory:
    • For Notepad++ versions 7.6.0 and up, the DLL should end up in $(PLUGINSDIR)\PreviewHTML
    • For Notepad++ version before 7.6, the DLL should end up directly in $(PLUGINSDIR)
  4. Restart Notepad++. No other setup should be necessary.

Note about $(PLUGINSDIR)

The plugins directory can be located at %AppData%\Notepad++\plugins, or just below the directory containing notepad++.exe, e.g. C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins.

To find out where your %AppData% is located, just paste (or type) it into the address bar of Windows’ File Explorer:

%AppData%
