The Folding Text Editor (FTE) is a multi-platform programmer's folding text editor.

Features

  • file browser
  • buffers
  • text-mode or presentation manager
  • configuration compiler (cfte)
Modes
Files can be opened in different modes. The default is PLAIN. Smart indent mode can be activated for C and REXX.
Syntax Highlighting
Syntax colouring can be configured by command colorize.
FTE has support for syntax colouring, code folding and syntax-aware autoindent for Ada, Assembly language, C, C++, Diff files, E-Mail files, FORTRAN, HTML, IDL, Java, LinuxDoc, Make files, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Python, REXX, Sh (UNIX shell scripts), SQL, TeX and Texinfo.
In addition it is relatively easy to add your own syntax support to the editor but the syntaxin mechanism of FTE presents itself as a configurable state machine.
