Full featured Notepad replacement with coding capabilities

The standard Windows Notepad is a handy tool, but it certainly falls short of expectations for any task that goes beyond jotting down a few notes. If those cases where you need an extended Notepad, use NoteTab Light instead.

NoteTab Light is an awesome Notepad replacement that you can also use as a basic HTML editor. This is a stripped-down version of its big brother NotePad Pro, but it’s still a very efficient tool for text editing. Plus, you get to test the Pro version’s feature for a while, so you can decide which one to use.

NoteTab Light can open multiple documents at the same time and work with large-sized files as well. Among its features you’ll find support for dragging and dropping selected text snippets, an auto-correct/auto-replacement mode, a clip tool for quick text insertion and support for text macros.

The program’s interface displays many different toolbars, buttons and tabs that may overwhelm you a bit at the beginning, but you can always customize it any way you like.

NoteTab Light is an excellent Notepad replacement with extended features, such as support for HTML, a tabbed interface for multiple documents and text macros.
