Document interface

The following table identifies the following attributes of an editor that describe its user experience with respect to multiple documents:

Multiple instances: Whether multiple instances of the program can be open at the same time for editing multiple files (one in each instance). Applies both for single-document interface (SDI) and multiple-document interface (MDI). Also, applies for a program that has a user interface that looks like multiple instances of the same program (such as some versions of Word).
Single document window splitting: Whether a window can be split to simultaneously view different areas of a file.
MDI overlappable windows: Whether each open document gets its own fully movable window inside the editor environment.
MDI tabbed document interface: Whether multiple documents can be viewed as tabs in a single window.
MDI window splitting: Whether supports splitting the application window to show multiple documents (non-overlapping windows).

Notes:

Vim: Custom maps of Ctrl-1 .. Ctrl-9, Ctrl-0 cannot be set, nor is Control-Shift-<char> distinguished from Ctrl-<char>.^[66]^[67]
Notepad++: Custom shortcuts of Shift-<char> cannot be set, they need an added modifier such as Ctrl or Alt. i.e. SCI_LINESCROLLUP cannot be bound to "Shift-I"as the "Add"button is greyed out.
Pico: Pico uses most of Emacs's motion and deletion commands: ^F ^B ^P ^N ^D etc.

Character encoding support

The following table identifies notable character encodings that an editor supports

REDIRECT Template:En dash

Template:R protected can load, save, view and edit text in the encoding without changing any characters. Partial implies that the editor can only convert the character encoding to internal (8-bit) format for editing, some encodings are supported only in some platforms or the editor can only display a character set (such as OEM) by loading corresponding font, but does not support keyboard entry for that character set.

Right-to-left and bidirectional text

Support for right-to-left (RTL) text is necessary for editing some languages like Arabic, Persian, Hebrew, and Yiddish and the mixture of left-to-right (LTR) and RTL known as bidirectional (BiDi). The following table indicates whether an editor supports RTL and BiDi text. Some editors (e.g. Notepad++ 5.1.3) can render bidirectional text but does not support editing it.

 ==Document interface==
+The following table identifies the following attributes of an editor that describe its user experience with respect to multiple documents:
+; Multiple instances: Whether multiple instances of the program can be open at the same time for editing multiple files (one in each instance). Applies both for [[single-document interface]] (SDI) and [[multiple-document interface]] (MDI). Also, applies for a program that has a user interface that looks like multiple instances of the same program (such as some versions of [[Microsoft Word | Word]]).
+; Single document window splitting: Whether a window can be split to simultaneously view different areas of a file.
+; MDI overlappable windows: Whether each open document gets its own fully movable window inside the editor environment.
+; MDI [[tabbed document interface]]: Whether multiple documents can be viewed as tabs in a single window.
+; MDI window splitting: Whether supports splitting the application window to show multiple documents (non-overlapping windows).

-=== Notes ===
+==Additional programming features==
+{{sticky header}}{{sort under}}
-* '''Syntax highlighting''': Displays text in different colors and fonts according to the category of terms.
-* '''Function list''': Lists all functions from current file in a window or sidebar and allows user to jump directly to the definition of that function for example by double-clicking on the function name in the list. More or less realtime (does not require creating a symbol database, see below).
-* '''Symbol database''': Database of functions, variable and type definitions, macro definitions etc. in all the files belonging to the software being developed. The database can be created by the editor itself or by an external program such as ctags. The database can be used to instantly locate the definition even if it is in another file.
-* '''Bracket matching''': Find matching parenthesis or bracket, taking into account nesting.
-* '''Auto indentation''': May refer to just simple [[Indentation (typesetting)|indenting]] to the same level as the line above, or intelligent indenting that is language specific, e.g., ensuring a given [[indent style]].
-* '''Compiler integration''': Allows running compilers/linkers/debuggers from within editor, capturing the compiler output and stepping through errors, automatically moving cursor to corresponding location in the source file.
-==Extra features==

+==Character encoding support==
-To support specified character encoding, the editor must be able to load, save, view and edit text in the specific encoding and not destroy any characters. For UTF-8 and UTF-16, this requires internal 16-bit character support.
+The following table identifies notable [[character encoding]]s that an editor supports {{endash}} can load, save, view and edit text in the encoding without changing any characters. ''Partial'' implies that the editor can only convert the character encoding to internal (8-bit) format for editing, some encodings are supported only in some platforms or the editor can only display a character set (such as OEM) by loading corresponding font, but does not support keyboard entry for that character set.
-'''Partial''' support is indicated if: 1) the editor can only ''convert'' the character encoding to internal (8-bit) format for editing.

 == Right-to-left and bidirectional text ==
-Support for [[Right-To-Left]] (RTL) texts is necessary for editing some languages like [[Arabic]], [[Persian language|Persian]], [[Hebrew]], and [[Yiddish language|Yiddish]] and the mixture of left to right (LTR) and RTL known as bi-directional ([[Bidirectional text|BiDi]]) support.
+Support for [[right-to-left]] (RTL) text is necessary for editing some languages like [[Arabic]], [[Persian language |Persian]], [[Hebrew]], and [[Yiddish language |Yiddish]] and the mixture of left-to-right (LTR) and RTL known as [[bidirectional text |bidirectional]] (BiDi). The following table indicates whether an editor supports RTL and BiDi text. Some editors (e.g. Notepad++ 5.1.3) can render bidirectional text but does not support editing it.
-Depending on the algorithm used in the programs it might only render the bidirectional text correctly but may not be able to edit them. (e.g. Notepad++ 5.1.3 shows bidirectional texts correctly but cannot edit it and user should change the text direction to RTL to be able to edit RTL texts correctly.)
