Notepad++ rocks!

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Notepad++ rocks!

Can't believe I've been farting around in notepad all these years. I'm actually beginning to understand how php works when I see it in notepad++

cool.

Yes, I use it too, it is nice and not overly complex.

even just having line numbers and multiple docs on tabs is cool, let alone code highlighting and foldaways. I haven't even explored the other stuff yet.

Another good one (I think better) is www.textpad.com

I still prefer notepad. But i'm a traditionalist.

I use textpad all the time, especcially to print out Blitz source code with olour highlighting.
I created syntax files for it for Blitz & Cobra

I use notepad to make notes on all of you - I use individual ones where I just add stuff to them - mainly behavioural stuff.

puki: cool, so can I expect to see myself accurately simulated as an Orc Shamen in your next MMORPG using Oblivion media?

my favourite is this:

Hey GA and Gfk, did you notice the command wrap isn't highlighted in Notepad++?

<textarea wrap="virtual"></textarea>

Odd indeed. Btw, Notepadd++ really does rock.

Hmm...I don't see the difference between physical and virtual wrap.

I was just going to post something about notepad...
Open any file possible with it. You get some weird stuff. Weird stuff.

I've been using EditPlus ( http://www.editplus.com ) since, hmm, the dawn of time. Not only does it support syntax highlighting for approximately six billion languages, but it's small, fast, user-friendly and highly, highly customizable. Along with ThumbNailer from SmallerAnimals, EditPlus is one of the best software investments I've ever made.

Hey GA and Gfk, did you notice the command wrap isn't highlighted in Notepad++?
I'm guessing that's because Notepad++ doesn't highlight make believe attributes?

Hmm...I don't see the difference between physical and virtual wrap.
Yes well that might be because it's being silently ignored by the browser.

So you're implying that if a command isn't highlighted then it is make believe? Try typing in <?php mail() ?>. It doesn't get highlighted but works just fine. :p

I haven't used NP++ that extensively yet, but I'm guessing that you can't have HTML *and* PHP highlighting on at the same time.

Or maybe you can?? I dunno. :p
