[edit] Features
Gedit includes syntax highlighting and tabs for editing multiple files. It can edit remote files thanks to the GNOME VFS libraries. It supports a full undo and redo system as well as search and replace.
Some advanced features of gedit include multilanguage spellchecking and a flexible plugin system allowing to dynamically add new features, for example snippets and integration with external applications.
Minor features of gedit include line numbering, bracket matching, text wrapping, current line highlighting and automatic file backup.
[edit] Architecture
Designed for the X Window System, it uses the GTK+ 2.0 and GNOME 2.0 libraries. Complete GNOME integration is featured, with support for drag and drop between Nautilus (the GNOME file manager); and the use of the GNOME help system, virtual file system, and printing framework.
Recently, a new program called gPHPedit has been created, based on gedit. It is designed for PHP and HTML text editing.
