I've written about my love of TextPad<\/a> before here<\/a>. I just thought I'd post a couple quick tips about how to configure TextPad to view documents the way you like it.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Enabling Word Wrap by default<\/h3>\n

    Click on Configure > Preferences. Under \"Document Classes\" on the left, click the '+' button and then choose \"Default\". You should see the default preferences for files show in the right-side of the pane. Make sure \"Word wrap long lines\" is checked and hit \"Ok\".<\/p>\n

    Now whenever you open a document, TextPad will automatically wrap long lines at the word boundaries.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Enabling Line Numbers by default<\/h3>\n

    Click on Configure > Preferences. On the left, click \"View\", you should see the various View Options on the right. Make sure \"Line Numbers\" is checked and hit \"Ok\".<\/p>\n

    Now every file that is opened will automatically show line numbers in grey on the left.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Adding A New Document Type<\/h3>\n

    Let's say you want to add SVG<\/span> as a new document type to TextPad so syntax highlighting for SVG elements and keywords will be present.<\/p>\n
