Comparative Study of Various Text Editors and Formatting Systems,
Abstract
There are a number of software packages available for editing and formatting text. It is helpful to be able to assess the relative merits of such software with a view toward ease of use by administrative or technical personnel; the various capabilities available (including both basic and advanced features), and the efficient and speedy production of final formatted copy. This study is a comparison of nine text editors and nine text formatters. Desirable characteristics of text editors and text formatters are stated and presented in tabular form. An attachment examines each of the editors and its associated formatter for major strengths and weaknesses. (Author)
