![]() There is always the option of using a word processor for creating more in depth documents, but sometimes a middle ground is needed - this is the gap that Notepad++ has been designed to fill. The first plugin to be included in the program was “TextFX”, which includes W3C validation for HTML and CSS, text sorting, character case alteration and quote handling.While the Notepad tool bundled with Windows is fine for making quick text notes, for anything more than this it is somewhat lacking in features. Currently, over 140 compatible plugins have been developed for Notepad++, 10 of which are included by default in the program. Notepad++ has support for macros and plugins, and has been marked for its robust plugin architecture which enabled various new features to be integrated into the program. Notepad++ was built as a Microsoft Windows application the author considered, but rejected, using wxWidgets to port it to the Mac OS X and Unix platforms. He developed it in his spare time since the idea was rejected by his company. The developer used JEXT (a Java-based text editor) at his company but, dissatisfied with its poor performance, he began to develop a text editor written in C++ with Scintilla. Notepad++ was developed by Don Ho in September 2003. Notepad++ natively supports the following programming languages: ASP, Ada, ASCII art, Assembly, AutoIt, BAT, C, C#, C++, Caml, CSS, doxygen, FORTRAN, HTML, Haskell, Java, javascript, KiXtart, Lisp, Lua, makefile, Matlab, Objective-C, Pascal, Perl, PHP, PostScript, Python, Ruby, Scheme, Unix Shell Script, Smalltalk, SQL, Tcl, TeX, Verilog, VHDL, VB/VBScript, XML. It also supports tabbed editing, which allows working with multiple open files in a single window. As such, it may properly highlight code written in a supported schema, but whether that code is a working masterpiece or pure junk is not verifiable. Notepad++ features syntax highlighting, code folding and limited autocompletion for programming, scripting, and markup languages, but not intelligent code completion or syntax checking. The project’s name comes from the C increment operator. Based on the powerful editing component Scintilla, Notepad++ is written in C++ and uses pure Win32 API and STL which ensures a higher execution speed and smaller program size. ![]() ![]() Notepad++ is a free source code editor (and Notepad replacement) for Microsoft Windows environment. ![]()
