It's recommended you install an advanced editor instead of using the Windows Notepad to work on your Rainmeter projects and files, since they usually offers a lot of useful functions, like syntax highlighting or errors recognition.
The two editors we recommend are:

In the system tray, right-click on the Rainmeter icon
Select Manage
Go to the Settings tab
Next to Editor, select the ... button
Navigating to the Notepad++ executable in C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe (The installation path could change from user to user)
Restart Notepad++ and in the Notepad++ menu bar, go to Language and select Rainmeter
