Textadept

Welcome to the Textadept Wiki.

Textadept is a fast, minimalist, and ridiculously extensible text editor for Linux, Mac OSX, and Windows. The C core will always be less than 2000 lines of code (excluding comments and blank lines) and contains the bare framework for a text editor. More than half of the C base is the Lua extension, and nearly everything in Textadept is controlled by Lua, making the editor's extensibility almost limitless.

Links

The basic editing page describes how to create pages in PmWiki. You can practice editing in the wiki sandbox. Note that you have to add a link to the main page if you create a new page.
