NEW Features (since 0.4.0)

Number Conversion

STE now provides in-text number conversions between Decimal, Hexadecimal and Binary notations.

Values up to 64 bits length are supported. Also it is possible to change byte order of the values (i.e. LSB to MSB and back).

For Binary notation, there is a convenient way to see and change values of the different bits.

Character Map

Character Map allows to list Unicode or Ascii symbols, and see their codes in Dec and Hex, as well as in HTML notation. The chosen symbol can be inserted directly into the cursor position just by double-clicking on it.

Auto Tagging and Selection Wrapping

Auto tagging feature allows to complete current XML or DSL tag by simply pressing Ctrl+Enter.

Selection wrapping feature allows to wrap selected text with XML or DSL tags or with arbitrary text. Just select a text to wrap, press Ctrl+Enter and put into popup dialog the desired text to wrap the selection with.

Auto Comment

Auto commenting feature allows to quickly set/unset source code comments according to the current file type, by selecting the text and pressing Ctrl+/ afterwards.

STE tries to recognize between single- and multiline comments, and to detect what kind of comment to apply for the current selection.

Quick Preview

STE allows to quickly preview the final output for some formats:

• HTML
• DSL (Lingvo dictionary source files)
• XDXF (XML-based open dictionary format)

Other New Features
