You can learn copious biographical details by rooting around at. Going forward Mutahhir Ali, who also worked with me to create FoldingText, will maintain FoldingText. There is hardly anything David feels more strongly about than text editors. You can get a lot of power and conveniencefree of cost, and in an open-source spiritby selecting FTE as your text editor. A few rough edges make FTE more work to configure than it should be, but the learning curve on FTE is still comparatively mild. Overall, FTE does a nice job at a good number of things, and is especially a good choice for users who want a consistent editor across platforms. A lot of this stuff is expected in a good editor, and nothing obvious is missing from FTE. Lots of stuff you might expect: block indenting, entab/detab, case changes on text block, sort lines, column marking/copying, call to external programs (such as compiling), regex searching, and screen splitting.Handy, for example, to quickly see where a call to function FooBar() is made in a file. In FTE, they are named, rather than simply numbered. The concept is similar to folds, but operates independently of what's folded. Highlight one unit and press enter to jump there. The idea is that you can open another screen that just shows a summary of the meaningful units of your text (function definitions, HTML headings, class declarations, and so on). Really handy in helping to see how nested expressions line up. Highlights matching parenthesis when cursor is on a parenthesis, as well as the various brackets and braces. As you type, FoldingText auto-formats your document into sections, lists, and paragraphs.This is a way of creating automated hypertext linksfor example, between function calls and function definitions (even across files). Support of ctags (see /~darren/ctags/).You can also make your own modes with a little bit of work. The HTML mode has the most tags in the menu. View your entire document structure at a glance, and focus on the part of the document you want to work on. Most of them just set up syntax highlighting and indentation, but a few, like the HTML mode, add some extra menus to insert templates. releases FoldingText 2.2 Release New: Outline View. There are some nuggets buried in FTE that you might not even notice at first. PS, MS Wrd does a bad job of this last time I checked…mainly due to…Ī lack of any format control in outline view.2.2.3.2.3.2.-3.3.It adds a few extra characters, but doesn't interfere with the actual function of the file outside of FTE. (similar to MS Word, folding capability of text) Right clicking the summary item will give the additional option to open the document.

#Foldingtext update#
The option to make any portion of the embeded/linked document the summary item, NOT allow any change to that summary item (except formatting), BUT update the summary item when the linked document/embedded document changes. Most of the functions I found on the FoldingText website and compiled them here for easy use. If there is something you would like to see added, just let me know. As I come up with more things I want to do with Folding Text program, I will be adding to this workflow. But Writer should also give an additional option in the case of embedding or linking a document: FoldingText This workflow is a work in progress. Explore ratings, reviews, pricing, features, and integrations offered by the Markdown. Is there any possibility of inserting the image itself into the editor.
