Showing revision 2CuaFamily editors pioneered the use of CUA (common user access) style of editing now commonplace in MsWindows
?? yet was present in mainframe editors such as the
XeditEditor. The category of
MicrosoftWindowsEditors or
MsDosEditors is probably more specific.
WebHostedEditors run directly off a web page (regardless of technology, though Java and Active-X are probably the most common). Usually get their files from and upload to a web page, whether through a simple POST or using WebDAV.
Try and keep editors in the right family (see CategorizationRules). Emacs enthusiasts seem to want to lump every editor in that family but folks, it just ain't so.
I've also been asked to add a category for
TweeEditors? (I'm guessing Twee is Three?) which are very small editors. I put a category of
TinyEditors out there already....
(Er, actually, twee is
adj : affectedly dainty or refined [syn: dainty, mincing, niminy-piminy, prim

- From the unofficial Twee Editors page: http://www.modest-proposals.com/Twee.htm
A 'twee' editor is one that is only a few multiples of the minimum size for a functional editor, without compression.
These are not really text editor families. They are families of software that can produce plain text but are actually meant for something else:
What about programs that are not editors in the traditional sense, like
sed,
awk,
tr, etc? If there was such a family, I'd add NetRexx-Pipelines
? to it. --JLTurriff
