Installation instructions (taken from Notepad++ Web site [1]):

1. Download the user-defined language to your computer
2. Open the file with your favourite text editor (such as notepad++ or
notepad)
3. Click start, run, type (or paste in) %APPDATA%\Notepad++ then click ok
4. Open userDefineLang.xml with a text editor
5. If this is the first userdefined language you are adding, copy/paste the
entire first file (which you downloaded) into the userDefineLang.xml,
replacing all that was there. If this is the second or more language you
add, simply copy everything from the first file starting at <UserLang...>
to </UserLang> and paste it at the end of the userDefineLang.xml right
before </NotepadPlus>
6. Save the newly improved userDefineLang.xml

2. In Notepad++ :
1. Choose menu `Language` > `Define your own language`
2. Click `Import`
3. In the open dialog, browse to and select your downloaded *userDefineLang.xml* file, and click `open`.
4. Wait for the 'Import successful' dialog to be shown.
5. Open a Markdown file in Notepad++ (file extension must be *.md* or *.markdown*)
- Notepad++ _should_ format the file with Markdown language style
- To manually choose Markdown style, select menu `Language` > `Markdown`
