Release Notes

A code editor that can open and read a wide variety of source files, while also providing syntax highlighting and comment insertion
With so many programming languages out on the market, it is no wonder that there are countless types of source code files as well. Each one of these files requires a separate editor that can recognize the syntax used and properly highlight the key words. BowPad is one such code editor that can open and recognize a wide range of file types, including those written in HTML, Perl or C++.
Launch files in the preferred Internet browser and search the web
Many of the programming languages recognized by BowPad are web files, which can be opened and viewed in a standard web browser. This includes HTML, CSS, PHP and jаvascript files, although for some of them you might need a web server installed on your system to be able to view their full content. The application also comes with a handy gimmick, which allows you to select one or more words from the code and perform a web search for the terms. You can even search directly on Wikipedia to find what you need in a short.
Insert comments and trim the white spaces throughout the file
Comments are used to explain portions of code to the people who have to work on your program after you, or to leave notes for yourself to read in case you forget how a certain function works. BowPad enables you to automatically transform the selected text into a comment, by automatically detecting the language and using the appropriate commentary mark-up.
Although white spaces are typically used to maintain readability throughout the many lines of code, they can also just be forgotten in the wrong places or the result of bad formatting. The application allows you eliminate excessive white spaces from files and clean them from any undesired empty lines.
Conclusion
BowPad is a powerful code editor, with support for many languages and accurate text highlighting for each one of them. Beside the usual find, replace and go to capabilities, it can also perform more advanced operations, such as view the available functions and insert comments.
Overall, the application is a handy utility for anyone who has to work with a wide variety of programming languages and wants to handle them all inside the same environment.
