Also, prompted by Cryptonomic's (Jeff Nyman's) tutorial (
http://www.joltcountry.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2589 , the link is only available with the internet wayback machine), I checked out the editor Source Edit, which actually seems to be a pretty decent free editor (funny how a lot of the best editors to use with Hugo had their heyday nearly 10 years ago). Anyhow, I made a syntax file for it and added it to the "supported editors" page:
http://hugo.gerynarsabode.org/index.php ... ed_Editors
It only has one keyword group, but I don't find that as annoying as I thought I would and it even has a Function List option. So, nice.
Currently, my recommendations for free Windows editor would go like this:
- TextPad (uncrippled shareware) - TextPad isn't perfect, but it's still being maintained and has some nice features, like being able to restrict spell-check to strings.
For people who don't even want the guilt of nagware, though, these are pretty good, too:
- Source Edit - The options menu might be a little unkind to people unfamiliar with setting up an editor, but for the most part, Source Edit has some nice features, including that aforementioned function list feature.
- Emerald Editor (sometimes known as Crimson Editor)- Getting multi-line comments to work on this was a headache, but now that that is done, Emerald Editor is tight little program. It has a crazy amount of possible keyword groups, and setting up basically consists of dropping the syntax files into the right directories.
