Tool Updated: TextPad

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 05:07:51 GMT

Listed in categories: Source Code Editors

Most recent version:
5.2.0

Most recent release date:
July 18, 2009

Description:
TextPad is designed to provide the power and functionality to satisfy the most demanding text editing requirements. It can edit files up to the limits of virtual memory, and it will work with the 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Windows 2000, Server 2003, XP and Vista.

TextPad has been implemented according to the Windows XP user interface guidelines, so great attention has been paid to making it easy for both beginners and experienced users. In-context help is available for all commands, and in-context menus pop-up with the right mouse button. The Windows multiple document interface allows multiple files to be edited simultaneously, with up to 2 views on each file. Text can be dragged and dropped between files.

In addition to the usual cut and paste capabilities, you can correct the most common typing errors with commands to change case, and transpose words, characters and lines. Other commands let you indent blocks of text, split or join lines, and insert whole files. Any change can be undone or redone, right back to the first one made. Visible bookmarks can be put on lines, and edit commands can be applied to lines with bookmarks.

Frequently used combinations of commands can be saved as keystroke macros, and the spelling checker has dictionaries for 10 languages.

It also has a customizable tools menu, and integral file compare and search commands, with hypertext jumps from the matched text to the corresponding line in the source file (ideal for integrating compilers).

Tool Updated: Notepad2

Most recent version:
3.1.21

Most recent release date:
July 18, 2009

Description:
A few years ago, I found myself writing my first PHP projects using metapad. When I was looking around for text editors with syntax highlighting, I have come across the Scintilla source code editing component. I was very much impressed by this project, so I decided to create my own Scintilla-based text editor.

The result is Notepad2, a fast and light-weight Notepad-like text editor with syntax highlighting. This program can be run out of the box without installation, and does not touch your system's registry.

Most recent version:
1.0

Most recent release date:

Description:
This is a little application I wrote some times ago and it might come in handy when you need to convert a decorated c++ name into the undecorated version of the same name.

Tool Added: DelForExp

Wed, 26 Dec 2007 16:48:39 GMT

Listed in categories: Code Beautifiers

Most recent version:
2.5

Most recent release date:
2007

Description:
DelForExp is a FREEWARE Delphi source code formatter that really works.
It improves:

* the indentation
* spacing
* capitalization
* use of blank lines of Delphi source code.

To do so the source code is parsed and lots of special constructs are tested. At default, the style of the Borland source code is followed closely, since this is the most widely accepted style. But formatting of Pascal code is much a matter of taste and debate. Therefore, some alternative rules are included. DelForExp is available as Delphi 2/3/4/5/6/7/9/2007 expert. It can optionally process the whole currently opened project.

Tool Added: Lore's Source to HTML Converter

Wed, 26 Dec 2007 16:25:19 GMT

Listed in categories: Code Beautifiers

Most recent version:
3.4b

Most recent release date:
06/01/2005

Description:
Lore's Source to HTML Converter is a free software tool that converts source code of arbitrary programming or markup languages into syntax-highlighted HTML. The key features are:

* Supports arbitrary programming or markup languages. Actually language definitions for C/C++, Java, Java Script, Delphi, LaTex, HTML, Ini files and BibTex exist.
* Project files to easily store options and file lists for your different projects
* Pre- and user defined syntax highlighting styles
* Optimized output: Successive elements with the same color or style are formatted together and not separately
* Fast on the fly conversion
* Extensive syntax highlighting like in commercial compilers or editors. Take a look a the screenshot to get an idea ...

Note, this tool does not actually alter source code so it's not a code beautifier in the traditional sense. It is purely intended to generate a formatted HTML representation of code. "Arbitrary languages" means that you can define your own lexer-style keywords and their associated formatting options. This tool is extremely useful for documenting source code (eg: in tutorials).

Tool Added: PolyStyle
