Select your text  right click  then choose Style Token and then using 1st style  2nd style  etc       At the moment is not possible to save the style tokens but there is an idea pending on Idea torrent you may vote for if your are interested in that     It should be default  but it might be hidden        It might be that something happened to your contextMenu xml so that you only get the basic standard  Have a look in NPPs config folder   appdata  Notepad     if the contextMenu xml is there  If no  that would be the answer  if yes  it might be defect    Anyway you can grab the original standart contextMenu xml from here and place it into the config folder  or replace the existing xml   Start NPP and you should have quite a long context menu  Tip  have a look at the contextmenu xml itself - because you re allowed to change it to your own needs     See this for more information
