so I got this project, see...

I have to fix up 4 pages of HTML: make it work on a new server; clean it up; and make it smaller, if possible. this is for my mom, and when I finish she'll pay for 3 months of RO for me.

however, this is not just any HTML, this is FrontPage barf. redundant tags; fucked up tags; style attributes rather than a stylesheet and class/id attributes; DTD statement that doesn't validate -- the usual.

and I have maybe a couple of days to fix over 100k of this shit. I like Emacs, but I think I'll be breaking out EditPlus for this: the color highlighting is far more useful, and it has almost all the features Emacs does, too.

and apparently someone decided I wasn't going to eat tonight, since the leftovers from dinner seem to have migrated into the trash can. I discovered this because I was, in fact, planning to eat some.

I used to use Xemacs in college, but I prefer jEdit for my text editing purposes. I find it more user friendly than emacs, has some nicer features, but you do need JRE to run it.

The power of this program is in the downloadable plugins. You can download them from within the program via the Plugins Menu.

Docking the plugins is my favorite UI setup.
