Gone are the days when people use text editors just for editing and saving plain text documents. Nowadays we can see multi-purpose text editors that can be used for text editing, web programming and script writing etc. For Macintosh operating system we cannot find much of very good open source text editors like what we have for windows. In this article we are going to see one such open source text editor for Mac called Smultron.

The free text editor is developed using Objective C in Cocoa, Apple’s object-oriented application programming environment and is maintained under Apache License V2.0.

Smultron supports regular expressions and it supports limited apple scripting functionality. Refer Smultron manual to know more. Smultron is very good for editing php, xml, html etc with proper syntax highlighting. Smultron comes with some good features like auto-completion, running commands from within Smultron, HTML preview, split window and support for all encoding to help Internationalization and for advance users. Latest version of Smultron runs in Mac OS X 10.5 later.
