notepad++ user defined language for pseudocode

I have made a basic UDL in Notepad++ to comply with my way of writing pseudocode. However, one feature I need is for when I would write:

BEGIN Main
    ExampleSub
END

BEGIN SUBPROGRAM ExampleSub
    Display something...
END SUBPROGRAM ExampleSub

What I want is for Notepad++ to highlight the ExampleSub so that I know that it is a subprogram (kind of like how it highlights variables declared in PHP)

Thanks!

Use SUBPROGRAM as the start of a delimiter and ((EOL)) as the end of the delimiter to highlight the SUBPROGRAM statement and everything after it. UDLs are not as powerful as built-in languages, so nested ExampleSub references are not counted.
