http://sites.google.com/site/texteditors/Home/files/TextEditors.org_Logo.png ---- Welcome to http://TextEditors.org, your home for text editor reviews, analysis, and commentary by the community at large. Since 2003-05-23, this has grown to be the home of the largest collection of text editor information on the web. This site is as inclusive as possible. Any platform, any OS, any chip, any language, etc. There's plenty of room for everyone. If it's a text editor that runs on a computer, the wiki wants to document it. This is a WikiWiki site, which means that ''anybody'' can create/make/delete entries.¹ We hope this means we will build a healthy community around the issues that matter most to us. So far, we've collected more than '''''2,000''''' text editors listed in the EditorIndex. ¹See TextFormattingRules for details. ---- '''''Note to contributors:''' Thanks for adding information to TextEditors. Please take a look at other entries to see the standard format we apply before adding an entry, and think about what [http://texteditors.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?TextEditorFamilies families] it might be part of.
