My inclination would be against voting for a Linux port of TP at this time. There are too many other enhancement suggestions that come up with more frequency that I would suggest they focus on adding to the Windows features set first.

It sounds as though you may have configured the document class text to give you the formatting you desire but are then saving the file as an html file. Is this correct? The option to save as html is for when saving HTML file it is not for saving a version of the file you see on screen using HTML to ...

Find what: Submited By.*) With regular expression enabled and POSIX regular expression syntax enabled in the general preferences. Please note there is a space in front of 'Submited By'. The '.' character indicates find any character and the '*' means repeated zero or more times and then the search s...

From my quick test I think Set Defaults restores the application defaults back to the 'out of the box' settings rather than to whatever you have set as the default document class colours. If you're comfortable¹ with editing in the registry you can copy the settings over by copying the data from: \S...

After I search and the status bar says 6 occurrences found I cannot figure out how to go to the other 6 documents. I must admit, after using TP for many years I don't know the answer to this! I tend to either run a 'find in files' or, once I have searched all the open files click on each one in tur...

I agree that it's disappointing that there has been no progress in this area but stand by my earlier assertion regarding mission-critical features:

if current users require a feature that is not currently provided they are free to look elsewhere

Hello Textpad Staff! What makes textpad different from the rest of the notepads out there? What would make me switch from Window's notepad to textpad? I've been a user of notepad since the day I got my computer 10 years ago, and I got to say, I love it. It's simple and fast, no formatting. So again...

I've just seen that a new book on Regular Expressions has been released. Regular Expressions Cookbook is written by Jan Goyvaerts (author of RegexBuddy and regular-expressions.info) and Steven Levithan (author of XRegExp and RegexPal) and released by O'Reilly. I haven't had a chance to buy a copy ye...

Wow, what is with the complete and utter nonexistence of support for this application? Did the community just vanish or something? Umm, no... So let's get this right. You post on Thursday, there's no response by mid-day on Friday (less than 24 hours later!), at which point you conclude there's no s...

There are alternatives available that will display these files similarly to Visual Studio with none of the bloat.

I wonder if the SmartyPants Perl filter would be any use here. This translates plain ASCII punctuation characters into “smart� typographic punctuation HTML entities. From there it would be a trivial search and replace to get back to the quotes you are after. If it is only one document, and you c...

Can you post an example of the sort of data you are searching for?

"|" is actually a POSIX operator so you need to enable POSIX syntax in preferences.

Have a look at the settings shown below for whatever document type you are currently using



But if turn on hidden text with the ¶ symbol in the tool bar you will be able to see if the strange spacing is due to a tab.

Check what setting you have for tab spaces within the application or document class. It may be that the text you are copying includes tabs before the unordered list brackets and these are then spaced equivalent to 18 characters. Turn on hidden text options to see whether the text is formatted with a...

Are you cutting and pasting from within TextPad or are you taking the content from another application? You refer to <i>formatting</i> in your post - are you trying to copy formatted HTML from a browser window? If so, TextPad will only insert the plain text that has been copied and there may be some...
