texte = Since people were looking for recommendations for editors to use under Windows,I though I would pitch my favorite editor: MultiEdit for Windows 8.0. This isone of the best editors that I have ever used, because you can literally doanything you want with it. Originally written for DOS, it has been completelyrewritten for Windows and then again for Windows/32 (NT or 95). One of its mostpowerful features is the context highlighting and coloring. An add-in calledWebLair gives you complete HTML highlighting, as well as button bars for all ofthe HTML tags that you could imagine ever using. I've been using it extensivelyfor Perl work, and it sometimes feels like the code writes itself.Since it is completely written in its own compiled macro language, you canprogram support for any language you like. However, I found that just addingthe appropriate WebDNA tags to the setup for HTML, I get all of the highlightingI need to make it a breeze to edit tpl files. At some point I plan on writing afull module to support all WebDNA, but I may never need to. There is supportfor template macros, so you would type searchand MEW would expand it to [search db=<>.db&eqskudatarq=<>]<>[/search]or anything else I wanted, with the <> being insertion points that I couldquickly jump to (CTRL-I). It makes writing code almost effortless, andeverything looks stylistically consistent.The best thing is the price, $99 over the Web at www.MultiEdit.com. The 8.0version is technically beta still, but like Pacific Coast, their betas are asstable as most people's release products. Unfortunately for most of the userson this list, there is no Mac version ;) Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
