It’s written in C++ and based on powerful editing component Scintilla. Notepad++ is free and open source, first released in 2003 by Don Ho. It supports several programming languages and features syntax highlighting, syntax folding, PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expression) search/replace, auto-completion, multi-document editing, WYSIWYG printing, zoom in and zoom out, bookmarks, macro recording and playback, and more. Notepad++ is basically what would happen if you were to inject Notepad with steroids and forced it to work out.
