StyledEdit - A Simple Text Editor

StyledEdit is the default text editor in Zeta. The application can save the files as plain text.

StyledEdit handles fonts and colors in a special way. The application only stores plain text in the file's body, all data related to the font stylings are stored in the file's attributes. This can easily be seen if you open the file in Linux, MacOS X or Windows, all attributes will then be ignored, but the data stays intact.

Revert to Saved
StyledEdit has some features that differs it from other simple text editors. One of them are Revert to Saved. Normally when you have made changes to a file and later decide that you don't want to keep them, you will have to close it without saving and then reopen it. In StyledEdit you only have to choose the option Revert to Saved, and the application will reject all of the changes you have made since the file was last saved.

Replace in all windows
It's one thing to be able to search and replace text throughout a document. But what if you're working on a website consisting of several pages, and you need to change a certain name, date, or block of code in all of them?

This can easily be done by selecting all related files, and opening them at once. Choose Edit -> Replace in one of the files. Then enter in your search/replace text and mark the checkbox Replace in all windows.
