Portable PlainEdit is an intuitive ASCII and ANSI text editor that comes in handy to those who want to view and apply further modifications to HTML, CSS or JavaScript documents. It features a rich selection of text conversions, syntax highlighting (JavaScript, CSS, HTML, C++) and a special character map.

As the name suggests, the app doesn't require any prior setup in order to run, can be carried on a thumb drive and started on any computer. Right from the start, the tool asks if you want the portable version or create a temporary folder to a location on the PC.

The interface is clean and well-organized, with the most useful functions in a simple toolbar. Portable PlainEdit can handle more than one opened files making it easier to view multiple documents at the same and import content from one to another.

The app supports almost all web file formats, such as HTML, PHP, CSS, JS, BAT, CPP, CS, DFM, INI, PL, SQL and XML. The syntax highlighter helps you view the important tags or strings and you can select the proper programming language ( e.g. XML, SQL, Perl, INI, C++, HTML) from the menu.

Plus, you can choose the line format between UTF-8 and ANSI, as well as the line break type from Unix, Windows or MacIntosh. Portable PlainEdit lets you search and replace words and lines with others, bookmark important code sections, and go to a specific line in the code.

You have the option to insert the date/time, matching brackets, file path, console input and special characters. From the "Format" menu, it's possible to convert the text between ANSI and ASCII, to uppercase or lowercase, to ROT-13, and between Base64 and text.

What's more, from the same menu, you can remove HTML tags and trailing spaces, as well as encode and decode HTML characters and whitespaces. You also have the choice to sort the lines ascending or descending and wrap the code to the window. The files can be exported to HTML and RTF file formats.

The bottom line is that Portable PlainEdit is a feature-rich application designed to help you view and edit your HTML, JavaScript, C++ or CSS web files. It comes with a syntax highlighter, character map and text conversions. Plus, it's portable so that it can be run from any computer.
