Notepad Docs (Under Construction)

UI & Layout

There are two sets of buttons in Notepad. The buttons below the textbox are mostly for opening, editing, and running files. The top bar of icons are for niche, miscellaneous things you may need to do at some point. I also put some medium-useful buttons here simply because it is easier to reach when you first open Notepad.

Opening, Editing, and Running Files

There are three different buttons to open files.

Open File

Opens the file in the normal textbox.

Some Unicode characters may be removed or replaced. This mode is not recommended for opening and editing binary files.

Open in New Window

Opens the file in a new Notepad window.

Open Image

Opens an image below the textbox. In the future, there will be an actual UI for this and there may be image editing functionalities, but it is not a priority right now.

Download

Downloads the current contents of the textbox. See the above note about binary files.

Run JavaScript

Interprets the textbox contents as JavaScript and runs it on the page, alerting the user if an error occurs. Note that it is URL-decoded automatically, so use %25 if you need a percent symbol. This may change in the future.

Run HTML

Interprets the textbox contents as HTML (or SVG) and opens it in a new window.

Live Palette

Interprets textbox contents as CSS and updates the notepad theme to match. Toggles real-time updating on and off. Useful for making themes.

Removed features

Encode and Decode

In the previous opener system, these buttons were for generating the opener and extracting the original file, respectively. This is no longer necessary with/for the new opener system.

Download Zapped File

The Zap button used to save the zapped file in a special place that could only be restored by using this button. Now it just saves the file in the save conveyor.
