Introduction

 TxtEdit  Introduction

TxtEdit is a simple editor for text or Rich text files.

It includes a spell checker.

TxtEdit includes a send to - feature, which is useful to have a quick view on many different (may be unknown) file formats. Start the Explorer, right click any file, and choose TxtEdit under send to!

If you want to start TxtEdit without opening a new empty page, you may insert a command line parameter “/n”. For a icon, this may be e.g.: “...Program files\TxtEdit\TxtEdit.exe /n”.

Some more features are available!


Rich text file

A rich text file is a text file containing formatting information. The rich text format (.rtf) is widely supported by word processing applications. Not all features are supported by TxtEdit, which are possible to save in a rich text format

Of course, all format information will be lost, if you save a document as a text file (.txt).


Features

•	The menu item Options/Standard Font allows you to set the font, which is used by default.

•	Select Options/Create backup files to store the old version of your document under a new name whenever you save a file. Example: If you save the file “Example.txt”, you will get a backup file “Example.txt”.

•	Select Options/Find in files to search not only the active document, but all files, which are currently opened by TxtEdit.

•	The Options menu contains items to change TxtEdit’s interface language.

 The “html” button makes the spell checker disregard any HTML tag or script. You may use TxtEdit conveniently as a simple editor for your HTML files, and check the spelling of the text.

 The button “Open with standard application" will display your file with the application registered on your computer for this file type. By one click, you may for example open a HTML file with Microsoft’s Internet Explorer.


Language

Beside English or Deutsch (German) as language for the application interface, you may select the menu item Options/Language. This will allow to load a “interface language file” of any other language, and thereby produces the respective program interface. The standard installation includes a file English.lgtx, Deutsch.lgtx and one Hungarian.lgtx (Hungarian). Many thanks deserves LÁSZLÓ KONCZ, Gyöngyös, konczl@matavnet.hu, who did the translation to Hungarian!

The file English.lgtx is designed as a model for translation. If you would like to get TxtEdit with any other interface language, you may translate English.lgtx line by line and rename it e.g. to Francais.lgtx. Detailed instructions are found in the first lines of English.lgtx. You can open it with any Text Editor. Do not wrap lines, as every line has its dedicated position!

TxtEdit itself would be well suited for this task: It allows to select/deselect Word wrap. If you open any language file, word wrap is deselected by default.

If you decide to translate the file(s), please send it to LS@luziusschneider.com for publication!
