About Notepad++

Notepad++ is a free source code editor for Microsoft Windows, designed as a more capable replacement for Notepad. It is released under the GNU General Public License, so both the program and its source code are open to anyone.

What Notepad++ offers

  • Editing in many languages — syntax support for a broad range of programming and markup languages.
  • Scintilla component — the editor is built on the Scintilla editing engine.
  • Lightweight build — written in C++ against the Win32 API and STL, which keeps the program small and quick to run.
  • Help and community — an online manual and community resources linked from the project site.

Who it works with

The editor suits programmers and anyone who edits text or code on a Windows PC.

Key facts

  • Licence: GNU General Public License
  • Platform: Microsoft Windows
  • Language: C++, using the Win32 API and STL
  • Funding: maintained by its author and supported by donations

The project says it tunes its routines to use less processor time, so a PC can draw less power while it runs.
