Window for textual input and output

This window is used to display documents which consist of normal text (with no non-displayable special characters). In such a document text can also be searched and replaced (see menu Edit).

With the View menu you can change the display of the text window:

Alphabet Characters which are not part of the alphabet are grayed out in the current window.
End of Line Switches the display of end of lines as special characters on or off.
Line Wrap Switches the display of line wraps as special characters on or off.
Whitespace Switches the display of whitespaces as special characters on or off.
Font Change the font for the active window.

With the menu item View \ Font you can adjust in a fast way meaningful sizes and the font type (mono-space or proportional). So "Courier 10" e.g. is good, to have a look at the output of the ADFGVX cipher.

The text editor allows to show documents, which contain non-printable but displayable characters.

Documents which contain non-displayable special characters are displayed in a window for hexadecimal input and output.

It is possible to force display of the window for hexadecimal input and output by selecting the menu option View \ As HexDump.

Remark:
The values (decimal and hexadecimal) of the different ASCII characters can be found in the ASCII table.
