PHP, HTML and CSS highlighting together on one screen. This screenshot uses the "Dark Contrast" theme.
This is a Haskell IRC bot, highlighted in the Gemstone theme.
A Thomas Huxley essay in MarkDown, using the Clean theme. Notice that word wrap is turned on (the line counters skip,) and in selecting part of the word philosophy, other instances have been hilit.
Part of a LaTeX document - a bilingual dictionary - rendered in the Roman Night theme
An exerpt from the LISP regular expressions book, rendered in Eclipse theme and rotated.
An XPath validation rendered in the Deep Ocean theme.
Editor in snap-small next to an IE instance, being used to edit an SVG (the logo for our upcoming game) with what amounts to a render window.
Editor in snap-large next to an IE instance, being used to edit an SVG (the logo for our upcoming game) with what amounts to a render window.

Description

Wish you could write code on your RT device?

Now you can!

HaxPad is a single-file programmers’ editor for Windows 8 and Windows RT Modern UI. HaxPad offers syntax highlighting for 50 programming languages, and a broad range of tools to get you up and running in your RT environment.

Hot highlight matching, tag completion for HTML and XML, smart indentation, screen-top search/replace, line numbers, live highlighting of unbalanced HTML and XML, togglable word wrap, regular expression find, regular expression search-and-replace, twelve different color themes, and more. Get up and running immediately.

Nested highlighters, too. So when you’re writing an HTML file, the CSS and JavaScript inside aren’t weirdly broken.

Most of you will be looking for for C, C++, Java, PHP, JavaScript, HTML, XML, CSS, Objective C, Python, Ruby, Pascal, SQL, Haskell, Perl, Clojure, Erlang, CoffeeScript, or Visual Basic, and yep, we’ve got 'em.

But we’ve also got Apache Velocity templates, diffs, ECL, Google Go, Groovy, Haxe, Jinja 2, LESS, Common Lisp, Lua, Github Flavored Markdown, OCaml, properties files, R, RDF, RDF N-Triples, RDF Sparql, reStructuredText_, Rust, Scheme, shell, Sieve filters, Smalltalk, Smarty, the MySQL and Postgres dialects of SQL, TeX / LaTeX / sTeX (no rendering, just highlighting,) VBScript, WikiText in Tiki and Tiddlywiki flavors, XQuery, and YAML.

… the C# highlighter could use some work. :)

But, seriously. Now that you have that keyboard, get something done with it. HaxPad can get you started.

  • Highlighters for 50 programming languages
  • Tag completion for HTML and XML
  • Screen-top search and replace stays out of your way while you read
  • Automatic match-highlighting - select something and other matching text gets highlit too - great for complex replacement jobs
  • Word wrap! So many programmers' editors forget it, and it actually matters for markup and markdown
  • Editor backgrounding - your contents even persist after a reboot
  • Color themes, because really, programmers need more stuff to argue about
  • Live highlighting of unbalanced HTML and XML
  • Find, Search and Replace, Regexp Find, and Regexp Search and Replace
