You *may* be interested by a little program of mine, that I made to be 
able to view HTML sources from IE in SciTE... Because IE *always* use 
Notepad.

Of course, SciTE is small enough and standalone to just replace Notepad, 
but I find this way cleaner.

I also added to SciTE a F12 shortcut to colorize HTML just to this 
purpose, because IE's View source remove file extension (ie. HomePage.html 
becomes HomePage[1]).

Last note: I made SciTE able to open any file with this simple registry 
file:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\edit]
@="Edit with &SciTE"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\edit\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Utilities\\SciTE\\SciTE.exe\" \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\print\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Utilities\\SciTE\\SciTE.exe\" /p \"%1\""

Of course, adjust the path to your copy of SciTE!

Good choice of editor...
I still plan to make a SDL lexer, and now I know how to make 
(almost) unlimited nesting of comments...
