Text Editor
I'm sure everyone has their favorite text editor but if you don't and are looking for one that isn't specific to any specific OS, try Jext. http://www.jext.org
I've been working on story window mods and this the only program that I have found that will append text at the beginning of every line, even when there is existing text. You can select the whole page, then tell it to insert <BR> at the beginning of every line. Works like a charm.
--edit
to prove the usefulness of Jext, I created a custom tag 'inserter' for it. Save the following text into a file called EQSL.insert.xml and put it into the \Documents and Settings\User Name\.jext\xinsert\ folder. (applies to Win2k and XP)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xinsert SYSTEM "xinsert.dtd">
<xinsert>
<menu name="EQ Story Line">
<item name="BreakLine"><br></item>
<item name="DocLink"><a href"file:///storyline/">|</a></item>
<item name="Green"><c "#00FF00">|</c></item>
<item name="Yellow"><c "#FFFF00">|</c></item>
<item name="Cyan"><c "#66CCFF">|</c></item>
<item name="Magenta"><c "#FF00FF">|</c></item>
</menu>
</xinsert>

Just thought I would point out your DOCLINK line is missing a "=". The only reason I figured this out is cuz none of my links were working.
It should read:
Code:
<item name="DocLink"><a href="file:///storyline/">|</a></item>

I use MS-WORD when I need to do this.
Replace (CTRL-H)
Search String = ^p
Replace String = ^p<br>
This would replace the paragraph markers with with a paragraph marker followed by <BR> which effectively appends <BR> to the start of each line.
When done, just be sure to save as a text docuemnt.
BTW - Thanks for listing the tool - you should submit it on the EQGUI Links page.

Personally I prefer to use Ultra Edit. Wonderful text/programming editor that will also allow HEX editting.

Well, I took a look at JText, and I do like the way it looks, but (you knew there was one) there are two things I dont like....
First: it is very slow to load up... but I am sure that is due to the fact it is a Java based program.
Second: Where the heck is the word wrap feature... I cant stand the scroll left and right to read my code.
Ya ya, I know its free, and I will continue to use it untill I find something better.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a Free Code editing program that does color codeing for HTML, XML, Java, etc, and has the word wrap feature?

I use TextPad for all of my coding; it does color coding, has word wrap, many bells and whistles. It's unrestricted shareware, and it's cheap to register (I think $20).

My editing programs
Here are the programs that I use:
Metapad - Notepad replacement. I have removed notepad from all my computers and use this now.
Source Edit - Free multi language editor. Also has free Hex editor. This program allows you to change text in all the files in a folder. I like it to change all the True to true and False to false in my UI directory with one command.
XML Spy - If you can afford it. I love this one because it has a nice grid view that allows me to edit whole blocks of code easily.

I've never seen a free one that does that but Ultra Edit Does that and the color coding is also customizible.
I have been using UE for going on 7 years now and i wouldnt be without it

I usually use Sidlwidl when I want to see the changes I am making. (If you download sidlwidl you'll also need to download the .NET SDK version 1.0 *not newer version* from... http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...&displaylang=en)
When I need to change something small like a border from true to false or if I need to copy and paste parts of files, I use XMLwriter but there are free programs that do the same thing like MoreMotion XML Editor and some people even use notepad from what I hear =)
hope that helps =)
