evolvEd

evolvEd is a comprehensive yet simple-to-use utility designed primarily for those who want to write basic web developing, programming and scripts codes, but can also be used to store simple notes. It comes with predefined language templates (C/C++, HTML, Java, XML) to create your codes fast and easy, HTML tags, keyword editor, a command prompt and an ASCII table. The program provides a clear-cut and user-friendly interface, which provides all the necessary elements to write, edit and store notes and script files.

To get started, you can either open a new document in one of the supported file formats, such as TXT, BAT, INI, CPP, HPP, JAVA, HTML and CSS, or make a new one from scratch. Plus, you ca switch the conversion between UNIX and DOS, ASCII and Unicode, as well as access the recently viewed notes from the menu with ease.

If you have content stored in another document, you can copy and paste it as plain or rich text, insert the date and time. Plus, you have the option to search for particular words and replace them with others, bookmark a specific line to remember where you left off, as well as trim trailing spaces from the text and wrap the content to the window.

You can change terms to upper and lower case, capitalize letters, invert case, add and remove indents. Another useful feature is the ability to insert predefined templates containing the basic frame for each language (e.g. HTML, Perl, C/C++, Java, XML) and create custom ones to correspond best with the content.

evolvEd lets you enter specific HTML tags, like headings, font, start and end tag, or paragraph, change their highlight colors for each command, load keywords from a particular language, as well as enable smart indent, autocomplete HTML tags and enter pairs. From the tools tab you can also select the encoding and decoding type, display the word count, run the command prompter and explorer, along with detailed settings for keyboard, mouse and interface.

Overall, evolvEd is a reliable and accessible application that comes in handy for those who want to create and edit their scripting and programming codes using custom templates, syntax highlight, execute specific commands, and might be a good replacement for the basic Notepad.
