TextPad is a very small yet powerful text editor. Its applications can be as simple as substituting Notepad but at the same time, it supports much more complex editing operations as those involved in creating web pages or writing programming code. One of its peculiarities is that it supports LaTeX, a widely used composition system oriented for texts containing mathematical formulae.
The application has a multiple document interface, which allows you to edit various documents in different tabs at the same time. Besides, it has an extensive set of customizable ribbons. Using the application is not very difficult; however, it will probably require getting used to it due to the multiple functions available and its differences with other popular text editors.
Besides common editing operations, such as editing, copying and pasting, this program also supports creating tables and comparing two files. In addition, it can check your spelling; what is more, you can download additional dictionaries and spelling checkers from the developer’s site. Likewise, you can download multiple add-ons that expand the editor’s functionalities. An advantage of this app is that you can create document classes and customize your preferences for each class, including color schemes, and there is even a wizard to help you do it. Moreover, the program supports recording routines of keystrokes to create your own macros. Finally, its syntax highlighting feature makes it appropriate for editing code in various programming languages. more
