Picture of text written in Notepad: STOP UPDATING NOTEPAD. TEXT WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE GIVEN UNORDERED LISTS. YEARS OF DEFAULT APP yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND FOR BASIC FORMATTING OPTIONS. Wanted to format anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: it was called "WORDPAD". "Yes please give me LINKS in my file. Please give me HEADERS." - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged. LOOK at what Microsoft has been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the programming language & technology we built for them (This is REAL Notepad, made by REAL Microsoft): ??????? ?????? ???????? "Hello I would like TABLES in a future update" They have played us for absolute fools

This isn't the first time that application has had problems either, the CIA hacked it because it was loading unsigned DLLs: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/v733-fix-cia-hacking-npp-issue/

To be fair it's one of the most popular text editors so it's not surprising nation states would target them, and it's hard to block someone with those kinds of resources.
