Best text editor for XP?

Notepad2. Best one out there, free. Syntax coloring, multiple docs (open two or more instances of program….)

Get it here.

I use Notepad++. It has syntax coloring and tabs, so it does exactly what you’re looking for.

Lots there.

Thanks guys, very helpful as ever ??

Notepad 2 looks good, not as pretty as Smultron but looks like it should do the job – would use Dreamweaver but it takes too long to load up for my liking.

PHP Design 2005 is also a good choice.

The Crimson text editor is really great as it has syntax highlighting for PHP, XML, CSS, SQL, etc – get it at https://crimsoneditor.com/

I use EditPad all the time. It works well enough for me at: https://www.editpadpro.com/editpadlite.html

+1 for Notepad2. This is what I use for my site development. However, it doesn’t support MDI which was on your list of requirements.

A good commercial text editor is Editplus. The best handling of wordwrap that I’ve seen. Had they offered payment via Paypal and Notepad2 not available, I’d easily purchase it.
