Description: Simple text and html editor written in Tcl/Tk.
Can import existing files; maintains potentially long list of
recently opened or inserted files, searchable by all or part
of title. General editing features include unlimited undo/redo;
Supercut, Supercopy, Superpaste (selection, retention, and
insertion of multiple text blocks); single-click insertion
of special characters and hexadecimal color codes.
HTML editing features include conversion of plain text to
simple html; minimal-effort insertion of html tags; easy
creation of lists and tables. Search and replace can be done
forwards or backwards, case sensitive or insensitive,
exact or regexp, single or multiple (using "string map").
Can auto-indent and test-run Tcl code.
Uses MULE license (Maximum Use License for Everyone), intended
as happy medium between extremes of (1) GNU GPL and (2) BSD-type
licenses.
Based on Tk NotePad 0.5.0 by Joseph Acosta and textedit.tcl by
Eric Foster-Johnson.
Currently at version 2006ez.

Contact: mailto:[email protected] (David McClamrock)LV Note that when you use supernotepad to write Tcl/Tk code, you have to be aware of what your platform and configuration is doing with an application's stdout and stderr. For instance, on a Windows machine, you are most likely going to need to add a console command . On a Unix-like machine, if you start supernotepad from a terminal window, then stdout and stderr is going to go there. If, however, you launch it from a button or desktop launcher, then you have to find out where the stdout and stderr in that case goes. Many times, it will either be thrown away or directed to a log file some place. Alas, on these platforms, Tk out of the box does not recognize the console command.
