Looking for a rich text editor
« on: September 05, 2007, 01:16 AM »
I am looking for a rich text editor that has the following features:

  • Both plain text as well as formatting like bold, underlining and images should be supported
  • Multiple instances of the application should be runnable. (Ex.: 1.abc, 2.abc)
  • Each instance should have multiple tabs support. When I save, close and reopen a file, say 1.abc, tabs along w/ their contents should be restored.

Prefer freeware. Does anyone know anything close to this?

Well, I don't think this has tabs, but the closest I've seen to what you want is Ultra Pad:

a free version of Atlantis Nova would do the trick.. you have to google for it though as the developers no longer keep the free version on their website..
