notepad compatible text editor

[manuleka]

i'm doing some web design work and i'm wondering if anyone can recommennd me a text editor that is compatible with notepad under Windows?

i really love gedit... it has the coloring effects and some tab feature that i love having in Editplus 3

the only problem is, tabs seems to be unrecognized by editplus/notepad...

any sugestions? cheers

Don't know feature-wise, but 'leafpad' available in LXDE, looks exact linux-copy of 'notepad'. Have you tried it?

my suggestion is better use Emacs
its powerfull text-editor with lot many features...
download emacs for windows and install it....
after installing emacs you need to know basic command for operating emasc...dont worry this manual u will get along with emacs....means every start -up of emacs..first it will display some options ...there you will find manual option
here is the link
Installing Emacs on Windows 95/98/2K/NT/ME/XP/Vista

i'm specifically after an editor that is compatible with notepad on Windows... i've tried bluefish with no luck... Gedit is awesome but the tab feature is unrecognizable in notepad
