Elvis is a multi-platform text editor that basically clones the functionality of the '''vi/ex''' editor that is shipped with most UNIX-like systems. It simulates both the visual mode and ex mode of [[vi]] and supports the bulk of the commands vi offers but in addition has features such as support for multiple files, multiple windows, binary editing, a variety of display modes including notably a [[HTML]] mode that even has rudimentary browsing capabilities, a mode for viewing [[LaTeX]] files, on-line help and other miscellaneous extensions. | '''Elvis''' is a multi-platform text editor that basically clones the functionality of the '''vi/ex''' editor that is shipped with most UNIX-like systems.
