Free text editors software for linux

Teddy is a tabular editor and display for XML files. It presents the structure and content of XML files in a way that is both visually pleasing and easy to use. It is available free, under the GNU public license, for Mac OS X and Linux.
If you have Qt for Windows it should build and run fine for it, but it has not been tested on that operating system.
Enhancements:
- Ability to open currently opened file in external text editor.
- Linux RPM installs application icon and start menu item in KDE.
- Save no longer forces scroll position to the top.
- Single line cell styles now correctly dimensioned.

text-vimcolor is a command-line program to syntax color a file in HTML, XML or PDF.

SYNOPSIS

$ text-vimcolor --format html --full-page FILENAME > OUTPUT.html
$ text-vimcolor --format xml FILENAME > OUTPUT.xml
$ text-vimcolor --format pdf FILENAME --output OUTPUT.pdf

This program uses the Vim text editor to highlight text according to its syntax, and turn the highlighting into HTML, XML or PDF output. It works with any file type which Vim itself can highlight. Usually Vim will be able to autodetect the file format based on the filename (and sometimes the contents of the file).

Exactly one filename should be given on the command line to name the input file. If none is given input will instead be read from stdin (the standard input).
If Vim cant guess the file type automatically, it can be specified explicitly using the --filetype option. For example:

$ text-vimcolor --format html --filetype prolog foo.pl > foo.html

This program is a command line interface to the Perl module Text::VimColor.

OPTIONS

The following options are understood:

--help

Show a summary of the usage, including a list of options.

--debug

Turns on debugging in the underlying Perl module. This makes it print the command used to run Vim.

--filetype file-type

Set the type of the file explicitly. The file-type argument should be something which Vim will recognise when set with its filetype option. Examples are perl, cpp (for C++) and sh (for Unix shell scripts). These names are case sensitive, and should usually be all-lowercase.

--format output-format

The output format to generate. Must be one of the following:
html

Generate XHTML output, with text marked with elements with class attributes. A CSS stylesheet should be used to define the coloring, etc., for the output. See the --full-page option below.

xml

Output is in a simple XML vocabulary. This can then be used by other software to do further transformations (e.g., using XSLT).

pdf

XML output is generated and fed to the FOP XSL-FO processor, with an appropriate XSL style sheet. The stylesheet uses XSLT to transform the normal XML output into XSL-FO, which is then rendered to PDF. For this to work, the command fop must be available. An output file must be specified with --output with this format.

Full details of the HTML and XML output formats can be found in the documentation for Text::VimColor.

--output output-filename

Specifies the name of the output file (which will end up containing either HTML, XML or PDF). If this option is omitted, the output will be sent to stdout (the standard output). This option is required when the output format is PDF (because of limitations in FOP).

--full-page

When the output format is HTML, this option will make the output a complete HTML page, rather than just a fragment of HTML. A CSS stylesheet will be inserted inline into the output, so the output will be useable as it is.

--no-inline-stylesheet

When the output format is HTML and --fullpage is given, a stylesheet is normally inserted in-line in the output file. If this option is given it will instead be referenced with a element.

--let name=value

When Vim is run the value of name will be set to value using Vims let command. More than one of these options can be set. The value is not quoted or escaped in any way, so it can be an expression. These settings take precedence over --unlet options.

This option corresponds to the vim_let setting and method in the Perl module.

--unlet name

Prevent the value of name being set with Vims let command. This can be used to turn off default settings.

This option corresponds to the vim_let setting and method in the Perl module, when used with a value of undef.

Text::VimColor is a syntax color text in HTML or XML using Vim.

SYNOPSIS

use Text::VimColor;
my $syntax = Text::VimColor->new(
file => $0,
filetype => perl,
);

print $syntax->html;
print $syntax->xml;

This module tries to markup text files according to their syntax. It can be used to produce web pages with pretty-printed colourful source code samples. It can produce output in the following formats:

HTML

Valid XHTML 1.0, with the exact colouring and style left to a CSS stylesheet

XML

Pieces of text are marked with XML elements in a simple vocabulary, which can be converted to other formats, for example, using XSLT

Perl array

A simple Perl data structure, so that Perl code can be used to turn it into whatever is needed

This module works by running the Vim text editor and getting it to apply its excellent syntax highlighting (aka font-locking) to an input file, and mark pieces of text according to whether it thinks they are comments, keywords, strings, etc. The Perl code then reads back this markup and converts it to the desired output format.

This is an object-oriented module. To use it, create an object with the new function (as shown above in the SYNOPSIS) and then call methods to get the markup out.

FreeDOS was previously known as "Free-DOS" and originally as "PD-DOS." For a little trip down memory lane: In 1994, I was a physics student at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. Most of my work for school had been done using DOS - writing programs, dialing up to the university computer, network, analysing lab data, etc. I really loved DOS; I did everything with it. I had a 386 desktop system in my dorm room and an XT laptop that I would carry around with me to do work "on the go".

Text::Editor::Vip::Buffer::DoUndoRedo is a non optional plugin for a Text::Editor::Vip::Buffer.

The do, undo, redo functionality of Text::Editor::Vip::Buffer is implemented by this package. This package automatically extends a Text::Editor::Vip::Buffer when a Text::Editor::Vip::Buffer instance is created.

This package manipulated the data structures used to implement a do, undo and redo functionality. Text::Editor::Vip uses perl as it building block to implement such functionality. Perl "scripts" are the base for implementing this functionality.

VEE, Vim Embedded Editor is the sum of VIM and X-Terminal and is written by python language, pygtk binding, vte python modules and is tightly integrated with GNOME environment.
VEE was started to make a text editor, which was based on the VIM, but now VEE has the (G)VIM and also a X terminal. VEE has a special feature to open VIM, X terminal as a new TAB in notebook.
VEE is tightly integrated with GNOME, so without under GNOME environment VEE will not be correctly worked.
Main features:
- support (G)VIM and X terminal
- open the (G)VIM and X terminal as a new TAB in notebook.
- simultaneously increase or decrease the size of font.
- DND(Drag & Drop).
- You can drop down the file to VEE in GNOME desktop
- external terminal can be executed in VEE as a new tab.
- open file outside VEE, with veet.
- can be stored the tab state in bookmark
