Basic and general usage text editor application which supports plaintext and web programming languages.

EditPad Lite acts as a freeware alternative to the built-in Windows notepad.exe application.

While the notepad included with Windows contains almost no additional functions, EditPad Lite is completely different. This free editor replacement has a large number of additional functions including multiple tabs, a clever search function and a table for the ASCII code.

This practical editor incorporates a large number of options that makes it more than just a notepad, since it allows you to edit with a lot of different text options, both in terms of font and page format.

One thing that makes EditPad Lite a ton better than Windows' own notepad is that it allows you to open several tabs with which you can work simultaneously in an extremely comfortable way, without having to minimize one to start another. You can quickly perform the undo feature more than once.

To end off

In short, EditPad Lite is a very interesting option for those looking for a number of the most-wanted improvements when it comes to taking some quick notes and just performing editing functions on plaintext files.
