https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xed

Make an html document, your typical <!DOCTYPE html> stuff, place a couple of tags inside the body for the sake of it, make a lame hello world web page essentially

Everything is fine and all... Then add an <h1> tag, guess what happens? Text coloration breaks, I shit you not, everything turns single color even if you ctrl z it's fucked you have to close and re-open the document to get the coloration back, even revert isn't going to fix shit

How? What have they done again? How is this even possible?

I don't know because I've never used Xed. My guess is that they're enabling text coloring with regular expressions. That's how GNU Nano does it, and it's not very reliable. (Nano itself is fine for most jobs, as long as you don't rely on advanced features like syntax hilighting.)

If there's anything Linux doesn't need more of it's text editors and IDEs.

Personally I use Emacs, but I know that many people prefer Vim. If you just want a decent graphical IDE you should try one of these:

  • Geany
  • VSCodium
  • Kate (somewhat less IDE)
