Multi-Edit was a commercial text editor for Microsoft Windows created in the 1980s by Todd Johnson. Multi Edit Software obtained ownership rights for the product in October 2002.[1] Multi-Edit contains tools for programmers, including macros, configurable syntax highlighting, code folding, file type conversions, project management, regular expressions, three block highlight modes including column, stream and line modes, remote editing of files via FTP and interfaces for APIs or command lines of choice[clarification needed]. The editor uses a tabbed document interface and sessions can be saved.[2]

Multi-Edit was originally written in Pascal and was built to run in MS-DOS and has since been ported to Windows. The most recent release is dated from 2008. No compatibility information for Windows versions after Windows 7 is available from the product's website.

HTML editing features include:[2]

  • Integration with CSE HTML Validator for offline HTML, XHTML and CSS checking
  • HTML toolbar preconfigured for popular functions and HTML tags
  • Customization of languages, templates, menus, toolbars and the UI with its CMac macro language

Multi-Edit is a shareware product. It can be evaluated for free for 30 days, after which the user must purchase a license to continue using the software.

Note: As of August 2022, the Multi-Edit website, including all of the forums, is off-line and not accessible.
