ConTEXT

About ConTEXT

ConTEXT is a text editor specifically for developers. It has some interesting features, my favorite is the text sorter that will sort your text document in alphabetical order. I could have used something like that in a number of projects I've worked on.

ConTEXT is no longer being supported because, according to the website “ConTEXT was originally written using Delphi which requires a licence for users to develop with the components used.” (September 25, 2011) Users of ConTEXT are discussing the future of ConTEXT in the forum.
