Notepad2 is a code editor program and a replacement for Windows Notepad. It supports different programming languages, such as HTML, XML, PHP, ASP, Javascript, etc.
The program resembles Microsoft Wordpad: presented in a single window and has numbered rows, zoom, copy, paragraph and other text tools. It also has advanced search, coding tools, text wrapping, tabulation, schemes and more.
