Hello,

Glad to see someone using this feature! Just out of curiosity, do you use 3P solely for auto-completing other languages ?

As for your problem, the reason is dead simple, at the moment the tooltip displays html, not raw text. One slight problem : the use of spaces to align param and description. To reproduce that behavior, i need a monospaced font for the description in the tooltip... which might be quite ugly.

Maybe new lines would be enough, what do you think?

Hi, currently I'm programming on SourcePawn language only. I makes Npp docs for programmers who write mod for games like CS:GO, L4D, Half-Life...it's a realy big community. But I faced with the problem.

Notepad++ Issues:
notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus#4833
notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus#3997

These issues causes a lot of inconvenience. Yesterday I discovered 3P plugin that fixes all autocomplete bugs. Thanks!

New lines would be a good start to solve this problem. If you add option to select font or any other stuff that make tooltip look like Notepad hint it would be also great.

Oh I see. Yes the default notepad++ autocompletion is... pretty garbage in my opinion (this is actually the autocompletion of the scintilla component).

I'll try to fix it this week-end, it shouldn't be a heavy fix. I will post the link to a build artifact so you can download the fixed version and try it right away.

Not a perfect solution, but we at least get the new lines.
I'll think of a better. In the meantime, you can try the new version here :

artifact build
artifact build x64

It look almost the same. Thank you for update!
