+====== Notepad++ ======
+A [[Visual3D:Documentation:Pipeline:Pipeline_Overview|pipeline script (v3s file)]] can be opened in any text editor (Notepad, Notepad++), but Notepad++ allows the user to colour code the file - making it much easier to read/modify a script. As such, it is our recommended text editor for viewing and editing pipeline scripts by hand.
+To get the fully-customized Visual3D experience in Notepad++:
+  - Download and install [[https://notepad-plus-plus.org/|Notepad++]].
+  - Download the Notepad++ [[http://www.has-motion.com/download/Visual3D%20User-Defined%20Language%20for%20Npp.zip|language plug-in]] for the Visual3D pipeline command syntax.
+  - Once the plugin has been downloaded, unzip the download and follow the INSTALL.txt instructions to save the userDefineLang.xml file in the correct location
+==== Colour Scheme ====
+The Pipeline workshop was colour-coded as of Visual3D v6 to make it easier to read commands.

+Simultaneously, the color scheme in Notepad++ was updated to match that of the Visual3D Pipeline Workshop (in both default and dark modes):
