CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Once you explore the power of NoteTab Light, you may find this text editor beautiful despite its off-putting interface. The left-hand column displays a list of commands, called clips, that do anything from inserting bits of text to generating code. Each library, the roster of which appears as buttons at the bottom of the screen, contains its own set of clips. The FTP library, for example, lets you create server profiles, connect, upload and download files, and issue various commands. The HTML library auto-completes HTML tags. The publisher's site offers many user-created libraries, or you can make your own. You can create your own clips by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F2 and edit them easily.
The Tidy HTML clip (in the HTML and Utilities libraries) incorporates the free download HTML Tidy, available on Download.com. While the TopStyle library similarly requires a CSS editor of that name, we couldn't get it to work. NoteTab Light isn't a tool for casual users, but power users and programmers should find plenty to love.
Publisher's description
From Fookes Software :NoteTab Light is a free Notepad replacement and HTML editor. A slimmer version of the award-winning NoteTab Pro, this slick application makes text editing a breeze. Move quickly around a stack of large files with a simple tabbed interface. Format your text to your heart's content. Write with the font of your choice, fixed-width or proportional. If you need to cut and paste chunks from a pile of files, forget the Clipboard--you can set up a Paste Board file to save text clips automatically. You can also strip HTML tags from your files, call up complete document statistics instantly, and use systemwide search-and-replace tools. In addition, the program lets you speed up your work with text macros: you can use them as shortcuts, or even to automatically replace persistent typos. Handy sample macro libraries are supplied, and you can easily build your own. Make the most of NoteTab's many options to suit your own work style.
Version 4.9 now supports both WinHelp and HTML Help; supports extended File Open/Save dialogs under Win2000/ME/XP, adds new Clip commands and functions, and more enhancements and bug fixes.
