A Free and Simple Text Editing Tool

Notepad2 is a free, lightweight, user-friendly text editing tool, designed to serve as a slightly more advanced version of Microsoft’s own Notepad application. Among its key features are syntax highlighting for a variety of programming languages, as well as an advanced find and replace function, which supports match the case, match the whole word, and more. Although the software does not have a multi-tab interface, multiple files can still be opened at once, while support for drag-and-drop helps it to stand out from most alternatives.

The original Notepad shipped with Windows is probably the handiest program of all times, small, fast, without frills! Notepad2 tries to follow this principle, it’s a small, fast and free text editor with syntax highlighting for HTML and other common languages.
