Editing Text editor (section)

==Specialized editors==
Some editors include special features and extra functions, for instance,

* [[Source code editor]]s are text editors with additional functionality to facilitate the production of source code.  These often feature user-programmable syntax highlighting and code navigation functions as well as coding tools or keyboard [[Macro (computer science)|macros]] similar to an HTML editor.
* [[Folding editor]]s. This subclass includes so-called "orthodox editors" that are derivatives of Xedit. Editors that implement folding without programing-specific features are usually called outliners (see below). 
* [[Outliner]]s. Also called tree-based editors, because they combine a hierarchical outline [[tree view]] with a text editor. Folding (see above) can be considered a specialized form of outlining.
* [[Integrated development environment|IDE]]s (integrated development environments) are designed to manage and streamline large programming projects.  They are usually only used for programming as they contain many features unnecessary for simple text editing.
* [[World Wide Web]] authors are offered a variety of [[HTML editor]]s dedicated to the task of creating [[web page]]s. These include: [[Dreamweaver]], [[KompoZer]] and [[E Text Editor]].  Many offer the option of viewing a work in progress on a built-in [[Web browser engine|HTML rendering engine]] or standard [[web browser]]. However, most [[web development]] is done in a [[dynamic programming language]] such as [[Ruby (programming language)|Ruby]] or [[PHP]] using a source code editor or IDE. The HTML delivered by all but the simplest static web sites is stored as individual [[template file]]s that are assembled by the software controlling the site and do not compose a complete HTML document.
* Mathematicians, physicists, and computer scientists often produce articles and books using [[TeX]] or [[LaTeX]] in plain text files. Such documents are often produced by a standard text editor, but some people use specialized [[TeX#Editors|TeX editors]].
* [[Collaborative real-time editing|Collaborative editors]] allow multiple users to work on the same document simultaneously from remote locations over a network. The changes made by individual users are tracked and merged into the document automatically to eliminate the possibility of conflicting edits. These editors also typically include an [[online chat]] component for discussion among editors.
* [[Distraction-free editor]]s provide a [[Minimalism (computing)|minimalistic]] interface with the purpose of isolating the writer from the rest of the applications and operating system, thus being able to focus on the writing without distractions from interface elements like a [[toolbar]] or [[notification area]].

Programmable editors can usually be enhanced to perform any or all of these functions, but simpler editors focus on just one, or, like [[gPHPedit]], are targeted at a single programming language.
