MY FAVORITE EDITOR
How we edit, revise, and manipulate text varies with the individual, each has
a preferred text editor. I use several different text editors according to the
specified format of the original document but I find myself continually going
back to a text editor called NoteTab (Not to be confused with Notepad)
developed by Eric Fookes .
This simple but highly versatile text editor has so many interesting functions
that it would be impossible for me to name them all in this short reveiw. Here
is a list of just a few of the functionsI find very useful:
Each open document has a tab at the top of the screen making it easy to
switch documents.
11 handy Libraries at the bottom of the screen which
enhance your ability to deal with a host of different types
of text editing: HTML, CSS, Utilities, FTP, and even Smilies
Find and Replace is, of course indispensable and NoteTab
does well here.
The Options Panel is where the power of this app resides.
Spend some time here if you want to realize the full potential
of NoteTab.
The list of functions goes on:
View in Browser
Strip html
Text Case Change
Sort options galore
Text Statistics
This last one acts like a mini concordance builder which I have
found very useful for determining keyword relevancy in a Web page. There are many, many more but I think you get the idea.
I would suggest you try it yourself and that's where the good
news comes in!
Of course the paid versions have a far greater range of functionality.
While a lot of these functions can be found in other text editors,
none are so intuitive and easy to learn. I truly mean it when
I say this is simply the best text editor I have found by far.
NoteTab is simple, but powerful ... and the price is
right!
