ConTEXT is a programmer's editor for Windows. Has SyntaxHighlighting, bookmarks, macro recording, and other features.

Update: From the developer's website

Friday, 07 September 2007

Due to various engagements which cause lack of my full attention and continuous further development of the ConTEXT project, I'm officially announcing that the ConTEXT project is offered FOR SALE and starting the bid.

Saturday, December 29th 2007

In December 2007 the ConTEXT project was handed over to David Hadley. ConTEXT will remain to be a freeware text editor and development of the project will continue.

In the upcoming months, changes will be made in the following areas:

Website Development : FAQ - Forums - Support
Improved Accessibility : Speed - Useability
Feedback Review : Implementing Ideas/Suggestions? from the people that count
ConTEXT Development : Improving/Adding? features as requested

The ConTEXT Team would like to wish everyone a happy season!

From the ConTEXT web site:

Sunday 25th September 2011 ConTEXT has not been developed for a long while. This is because ConTEXT was originally written using Delphi which requires a licence for users to develop with the components used.
