We’re going to try to pump up the volume of posts on our SourceForge.net community blog in the current weeks, and what better time to start than today? Two SF.net projects have recently made interesting releases that may be helpful to other projects.
The TEA project today released version 23 of the TEA text editor. This powerful and easy-to-use Qt4-based editor supports HTML, Docbook, LaTeX, ODT, DOCX, and RTF editing, among other formats. It features a small footprint, a tabbed layout engine, support for multiple encodings, code snippets, templates, customizable hotkeys, an “open at cursor” function for HTML files and images, miscellaneous HTML tools, preview in external browser, string manipulation functions, Morse-code tools, bookmarks, syntax highlighting, and more.
TEA has been around for a while, but a new project that made an alpha release also looks interesting, at least if you’re a PHP coder. phpSimpleDoc aims to document PHP object and non-object code, generating HTML documentation from PHP source code and javadoc tags. Version 1.0 is in its third alpha release, which means the project is at an early enough stage that you could have a significant impact on its development if you care to get involved with it.
