Textile

Textile is a feature-rich and intuitive word processor designed to offer a simple and handy method to compose, change and format text files. It comes with a symbol gallery, bullet lists, ASCI art, summarize and the option to look a term on Wiktionary.

Since it doesn't need any installation, it can be copied to a USB flash disk or any other external devices, and run on any PC effortlessly. It's wrapped in a plain yet accessible interface with all the functions packed in a standard menu. Unfortunately, you can't show different panels for quicker access. The panel can be resized to the desired dimension by dragging its corners.

To create a new file, you can either write something or import an existing document from the computer. The file can be exported to DOC, RTF and HTML formats and send via message if you already have an email provider set. Like all similar editors, Textile lets you copy and paste content from another source and use the undo and redo commands to go back to the original composition. Plus, you can search and replace words with other.

Unfortunately, it doesn't provide any fonts, sizes or colors to add a touch of personality to them, nor the ability to insert images to describe sentences. However, you can convert specific letters and paragraphs to lowercase and uppercase, as well as enter symbols, bullet lists and ASCI art, and enable the grid.

The text may be fitted to the window, zoom in and out to view the words better, and show the line counter to know the total amount of words and characters. Moreover, it lets you look up a word on Wiktionary or Merriam-webster, and summarize the whole composition in a few sentences.

Taking everything into consideration, Textile is a useful and straightforward application created to offer an efficient way to compose documents, edit and customize them using various symbols, lists and ASCI art.
