It was the first web-enabled text editor and the first of its kind to use a tabbed document interface. NoteTab Light can handle very large documents (up to a theoretical limit of 2 Gb). The program includes the original "Editor Clipbook" - a flexible tool for handling text clips; these can be anything from a single character to a large "boilerplate" chunk of text. The Clipbook is particularly popular for inserting HTML tags. NoteTab also offers a useful Outline document format that lets you organize information in a structured way. The editor lets you easily search and replace text in all open documents or disk files, and criteria can include multiple lines. Other features include support for templates, strip HTML tags, convert documents to web pages, sort/join/split/indent lines, calculate mathematical expressions, and much more. Suggested Long Description -------------------------- NoteTab Light is a versatile text editor and a popular Notepad replacement. It lets you open as many documents as system resources will allow, each with its own tab in the tab bar. Documents can be up to 2 Gb in size each. One of the most significant features is the Editor Clipbook -- a flexible tool for handling text clips. These can be anything from a single character to a large "boilerplate" chunk of text. Clips are stored in libraries and retrieved by selecting the corresponding header from the list or by typing the first matching characters and pressing a function key. By customizing clips with simple codes you can do anything from wrapping the clip text around a selection (useful with HTML tags), to launching other programs or sending documents through MAPI e-mail, to loading documents and other file management tasks, to calculating mathematical expressions with definable variables, etc. An integrated script language turns NoteTab into a programmable editor. Thanks to this Clipbook tool, NoteTab can handle just about any text processing task. NoteTab Light offers many other useful tools. You can for example open Internet links in your browser, create outline documents, convert text files to web pages or strip tags from HTML documents, send documents as e-mail, capture text copied to the Clipboard, view detailed text statistics, calculate mathematical expressions, search/replace text in all open documents or disk files. All standard text editor features like read and write files in DOS/UNIX/Mac format, convert between ASCII and ANSI, sort/join/split/indent lines, automatic indentation, spell checker, thesaurus, etc. are also integrated. NoteTab Light is very customizable. You have a selection of more than 80 commands for the toolbar and the main shortcut menu. The editor's behavior can be fine tuned to suit your needs thanks to a large selection of options. NoteTab Light can even substitute Notepad by simply selecting a menu command.
