title: In Notepad++, how can I set "Highlight Tag Matching" to work with PHP Syntax endif, endforeach; etc.?
body: <p>In Notepad++ (which I love using) I typically write PHP statements in this syntax</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php if ($something == 'is_cool'):
  // Do it
  endif; ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As opposed to</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php if ($something == 'is_cool'){
  // Do it
  } ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Same goes for endforeach; and the like. The problem is in Notepad++ it will highlight matching brackets {} but not matching if, endif / foreach, endforeach / so on so forth...</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to set it so it will match and highlight the start and end of these types of statements when I click on one or the other? I've played around a bit in the preferences and ticked off a checkbox for "highlight comment/php/asp zone" thinking that might do it but alas it was not so. For whatever it's worth the matching highlight works like a champ with plain old HTML (minus some HTML5 tags but no biggie).</p>
  
  <p>I suspect I might be able to do it with the User Defined Language tool but it's honestly kind of a crazy looking interface... and I don't want to invest time diving into it unless I know it will do what I'm looking for. It seems like if I use that tool I have define ALL the opening and closing tags, which seems like a lot of excess work for just wanting to match a few commonly used one.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
