Not all editors support every feature, so the trick is to find the one that does what you need.

There’s a rich landscape of Mac options, and the best choice for me may not be the best choice for you.


The syntax was created by John Gruber way back in 2004 and became popular in blogs and forums. It’s simpler and faster than adding HTML markup, and doesn’t have the lock-in of using something like Microsoft Word. I could go on for much longer but the pros of this program post cover much of it.Markdown provides a convenient way to add formatting to a plain text document, while leaving it in plain text. Software that put identification at the end of the file, such as writer, is easily handled by NP++. Being a regular user of older equipment notepad helps transition documents and files from old 8-bit computers to modern systems, by looking for identification at the start AND end of the files. Tag dictionaries help clean up the results from such dirty conversions. Extensions allow quick (dirty) conversions between DMLs and DTDs. Rather than choke like notepad (Microsoft) and preview (Apple), notepad++ throws up what garbage it can pull from the files no matter how damaged. Such as sorting a broken jpeg from a j2k.

Support for displaying representation of NPCs make tagless meta-less files not only loadable but decipherable. That said this is still the simplest scratch pad for programming AND file verification. it refuses to load with any implementation on MacOS. Lostinlodos's Experience My only complaint is it’s windows only! Don’t misunderstand me though.
