Alignment

[bobbank]

Is there a decent & free code editor that you guys recommend?

I am trying to modify some of the TP files with Notepad, and every time I save, things go bad (it loses a lot of the linebreaks or something, and just becomes one gigantic block of text).

On subject, I find it is somewhat confusing to accomplish this alignment, which seems like a fairly reasonable and straightforward goal.  There are lots of different padding settings, and even after you've tracked them all down, it seems the center panel (forums / articles) will not align.  I believe what happens is that it leaves a placeholder space for the collapse/expand buttons, even if you disable them.

Anyhow, the most straightforward way to accomplish it is to work with the top padding on the side panels (it seems).

Here's a good editor and its free:

notepad++, komodo edit (free version, not the IDE), context are just a few.

Thanks for the suggestions.  Komodo looks nice!

If you have the money the IDE is pretty nice. But the free editor is actually pretty good. Kind of hard to find on their site at first though.

If you guys hadn't specifically told me it was there, I wouldn't have found it.  Komodo came up on my google search, but I only saw the paid version so I bailed.
