NoteTab Pro 5.8

NoteTab Pro 5.8 offers you a useful editting tool for text and HTML. This is an ideal Notepad replacement. Winner of top shareware industry awards since 1998, this elegant application does it all: you can handle multiple large files with a simple tabbed interface, use a spell-checker and thesaurus, format text, use multiple undo, and bookmark documents. You can build templates, use powerful system-wide searches, and do global multi-line replacements.

Its Clipbook feature lets you create and organize clips, which can range from text macros to complete mini-applications, using a simple scripting language with enough features to satisfy any power user; a bunch of handy clip libraries is included.

Web authors will love the HTML clip library, just one of a load of features that make NoteTab a great code-based HTML editor. Other gems include text-to-HTML conversion, tag stripping, and tools for adding links and color codes.

All versions of NoteTab allow multiple files to be opened simultaneously in the tabbed interface that also includes a fully configurable toolbar with over 90 commands. Search and replace functions allow processing of all open documents or specified disk folders, and text copied from other applications to the Windows Clipboard can be automatically pasted in a chosen NoteTab document. NoteTab also has its own scripting language that enables the creation of custom text-processing tools. A large number of ready-made scripts are already included in the program, and many more have been made available by other NoteTab users on our Clip Resources page. Examples of included scripts include measurement and currency conversion, calculation of mortgage rates and the future value of deposits, stripping HTML tags from files, and encrypted password storage.

NoteTab supports a variety of industry standards and operations, including PCRE regular expressions and XHTML, and seamlessly integrates with a number of popular third-party utilities.
