Crimson Editor - Definition and Overview

Crimson Editor is a freeware text editor, source code editor, and HTML editor for Windows. Many of the features and user interfaces are similar to that of EditPlus, most noticeably Windows shell integration, tabbed document interface, syntax highlighting, multiple undo/redo, column mode editing, bracket matching, auto-indentation, spell checking, direct editing of text files in FTP and the integration with compilers.

In addition, Crimson Editor supports the use of macros, which can be found in applications like Microsoft Office. The built-in calculator can evaluate simple expressions. Basic mathematics functions, like those found in the standard C library, and date functions are also available.
