'''Frequently Asked Questions''' I've added questions I get from folks but feel free to add your questions (and answers!) * Is there a text editor that looks like [[EDIT]] on DOS but works on Linux or Mac/OS? I recommend trying SetEdit. It is the closest I've found. -- RonPerrella : Another option would be [[RHIDE]], originally written for DJGPP, but subsequently ported to Linux. It and SetEdit are both console mode IDEs with features beyond a pure editor. They have a Borland Turbo-vision style interface and the WordStar command set, and are broadly similar in appearance and operation. [[RHIDE]] is part of the FreeDOS distribution. * Is there a text editor that looks like [[Notepad]] on Windows but works on Linux or Mac/OS? Notepad is pretty simple to emulate. A large number of Linux programs can easily accomodate. I recommend trying [[GEdit]] if you are running something like Ubuntu. Another option (oldie but goodie) is [[NEdit]]. : Another alternative is [[Leafpad]] or [[Mousepad]]. Both are simple <nowiki>GtK</nowiki> based editors. Mousepad is based on Leafpad, and is the standard editor for the XFCE desktop environment. : --DMcCunney * Presently, editors are classified into overlapping '''family'''s using the following ''criteria'': :* ''platform'' :* ''operating system'' :* ''implementation language'' (i.e. source language) :* ''content edited'' (i.e. target content specialty) :* ''ancestor'' and :* ''type''. :Have you thought about extending these ''criteria'' to allow more flexible searches and matches for particular ''features''? Two possible ways of doing so are: ::1. letting users add arbitrary (implicitly defined) ''tags'', and ::2. adding ''features'' from a reference list, each with an explicit definition e.g. :::* syntax highlighting :::* text folding :::* block (column) editing
