Now to install in Notepad++:
1. Language > Define your language... > Import
2. SaveAs some name
3. From Language menu select name you used in step 2.
It is not hard to change color as you wish.

Notepad++ honestly just feels nicer, it could be me just feeling used to it, but when I think about it, ERM editor doesn't have many of quality of life options notepad++ has. As an example, "Find" window alone is a huge accelerator, allowing to use regular expressions and counting number of matches.

Shocking fact: Salamandre is not a professional developer and did all his works with some amateurish, primitive tools

Thanks.
Just to clarify.
UDL is plugin for Notepad++ and source can be found on internet. It come pre-installed with Notepad++. With UDL you can make custom coloring scheme based on keywords, delimiters, groups ...
As such, it is not 100% what true erm editor need. It is not possible to make coloring for !!xx/xx:xx/xx/xx; format. But it can emulate something really close to that. All i did is to make coloring for erm to make it easier to read. It took me ~1h.
Like AlfWithCake stated, There are advantages of Notepad++ use. You can make compare files, count string instance, search strings, coloring tokens (my favorite  ) ... It is especially handy if notepad is default text view/editor on system.
All begun with needed to find some overlapping between master of summoning (MOS) erm and Phoenix erm. So i share because it may be handy for others...
Problem is:
During selection of unit in MOS dialog it is not possible to change castle types if Phoenix mod is presented. Without Phoenix MOS work all right.

Great work indeed! What's about valid line endings #10 and document end mark #13?
Don't let hope overwhelm you . I'm not sure is that possible. Assume this as handy , dirty quick assembly tool. So no big updates in future.
Anyway, This is fast and dirty handy tool.

There is option in Notepad++ too, for those who use it
Edit > Blank Operations > Trim Trailing Space
Than save file.

It looks great for quickly checking out scripts. Installing it is straightforward: just import the XML file under Language > Define your language..., save it with a name, and then select it from the Language menu.
For keeping track of tweaks or color changes you make, https://notesonline.com/ could be handy to jot down your customization steps. Exploring other UDL setups for similar scripts might also give you ideas for further customization—happy coding
