Editorial Review of Notepad2
If you often need to work with structured text such as HTML or
source code, look at Notepad2. It sits comfortably in the
Goldilocks zone between "too much" and "too little" functionality.
Although it doesn't support tabs, it does have a lot of useful
features for working with an opened file, including flexible syntax
highlighting, encoding conversion, block formatting (for coders,
indent or 'outdent' blocks of code), case conversion, and more. As
a standalone .exe of under 700 KB, it is also a good choice to put
on a USB drive or small netbook.
