The goal of RText is to create a complete, fully-featured text editor (designed primarily for programmers but can be used by anyone) to run on any platform.

Originally intended to be a Windows Notepad clone, RText has grown into much more than that.

Editor:

● Multiple fonts simultaneously - Different token types can use different fonts and styles

● Drag-and-drop - Easily move code around in your document or even into another application.
● Spell Checking - Spellcheck plain text documents and source code comments.
● Bookmarking - Mark and quickly navigate to important code sections.
● Mark Occurrences - Easily see the scope and usage of a variable or method.
● Code templates - Create shortcut key sequences for common coding constructs such as for-loops.
● Unlimited undo/redo - Don't worry about making a mistake with the handy smart undo & redo.
● File encodings supported - Edit and save files in ASCII, Unicode, or any other encoding supported by your JVM.
● Current line highlighting allows you to quickly locate your position in a source file.
