Text Editor

[FZ1]

I recently found a nice text editor program that is free and way more powerful and robust than notepard or wordpad called PSPad. If you work with text files coding HTML, PHP, CSS, XML etc this is awesome. I just started using it so I'm getting to know it but I'll never use the default text editors again.

Here is some info from the website:
Why PSPad ?
do you work with various programming environments ?
do you like highlighted syntax in code ?
do you need a small tool with simple controls and the capabilities of a mighty code editor ?
are you looking for a tool to work with plain text ?
do you want to save money and still have the functionality of professional products ?

Some Features:
work with projects
work on several documents at the same time (MDI)
Save desktop session to later reopen all open files
FTP client - you can edit files directly from the web
macro recorder to record, save and load macros
search and replace in files

Nice, we've just started XHTML in one of my modules, so this'll come in handy.

I wish I had this when I took my XHTML and XML classes!

I've been using Notepad++ for some time now. Makes coding MUCH easier! I don't really do coding anymore, but your little notepad sounds promising too!
