GridinSoft Notepad LITE

Designing an application or web page, at least writing down the programming code, can be done in plain text editors. However, programs like GridinSoft Notepad LITE are specially designed for coding, with syntax highlighter and support for well over 25 different programming languages.

One of the main advantages is that the application can be used on other computers directly from a USB flash drive since it required no installation in order to function. Portability means that system registries aren’t modified during use, and so you don’t have to worry about affecting the health status of the target PC.

The main window is pretty well organized, with different panels for character edit, and alignment options, tab support to work on more projects at a time, and even a HTML toolbar to quickly insert several dedicated style options, and functions.

File support is yet another advantage, with the possibility to work with plain TXT, HTML, ASP, Cache files, CPM reports, C++, CSS, Fortran files, Borland Form, Foxpro, IMI, Javascript, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Python, SQL, Visual Basic, XML, Ruby, TeX, AWK scripts, NSIS script files, Lua, WHDL, and many more.

You can blend character input according to demands. Editor options allow you to use characters of different styles, and formatting. Apart from integrated, and fully configurable syntax highlighter, regular text also benefits from style, font, color, and size options.

Line character allows you to quickly identify, and keep track of your code. A built-in spell checker helps reduce the risk of errors, while edit, and search options make it easy to replace text strings, find brackets, or jump to a specific line. There are also up to ten different bookmark slots at your disposal.

Bottom line is that programming is difficult enough as it is, and GridinSoft Notepad LITE wants to assure you that you don’t encounter any other issues while developing web pages, or other programs. File support is no less than impressive, while customization options allow you to make both the interface, and text suit your style.
