Publisher's description of Notepad2
The original Notepad shipped with Windows is probably the handiest program of all times: small, fast, and without frills. Notepad2 tries to follow this principle - it's a small, fast, and free text editor with syntax highlighting for HTML and other common languages.
Version 2.1.19 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

Version: Notepad2 2.1.19
"Notepad, but roughly a billion times more useful."
Pros: It's still the basic, simple Notepad we all know, but while it looks almost the same - only one toolbar, nothing messy - it's packing loads of useful features.
Some very helpful features for any sort of code:
- Line count. Oh, and word-wrapped lines still count as one line.
- Syntax highlighting
- Featherweight - only 250kb.
- Long line marker
- Indentation markers
- Line breaks/line ends, etc markers.

Version: Notepad2 2.1.19
"Easy to use powerful alternative to notepad."
Pros: This software is very easy to use, simple and powerful. It also has the colour-coding function for meta texts.
Cons: Not automatically embedded into Windows or installed as a program, but these problems can be solved as you assign file associations to this application.
