to textpad authors

[Narendra]

Hello authors,
textpad is a great editor. I would have loved to see the following functionality. Please let me know if it alreay exists.

Need some way of getting selected files list in the document selector.
Changing the colour of a specific selected text inside a document. ( or even the font size will do ) just to make some texts more readable.

thanks,
narendra

Re: Getting a list of files<br>
Read these subjects in the Help file explaining how to use "@file" lists:<br>
o Here are some tips you may find useful<br>
o How to Find in Multiple Files<br>
o Quick Open File Dialog Box

Re: Highlighting Text<br>
Read the Help file about syntax files. There is no facility for ad hoc text highlighting. There is no facility for showing a file's text in more than one font. And there are no announced plans for including these features in a future release.

Please do post your Enhancement Request at this url:<br>

HTH,

TextPad would become RTFPad

MS WordPad will do Rich Text (fonts and colours) Just save the document as RTF.

I think most TP users would prefer TP to remain a 'plain text' editor.

I love textpad, I want it to grow of course, but in the right way...

I do not want TextPad to ever become a WYSWIG gui text editor...

I love it as it is...Just want to add and improve current functionality...
