Introduction
In this report I am going to be describing what Notepad and Komodo
Edit are. Within this I will also be stating the advantages and disadvantages of
both. After this I will compare the two products and finally I will conclude
what my favourite program is.
Notepad
Notepad has many different purposes. Notepad can be used to allow
users to program in a language that they wish. Notepad isn’t just aimed at
programming it can be used for storing notes, hence the name ‘Notepad’.

Komodo Edit
The purpose of this program is primarily for programmers to write
code, it supports many languages. It is aimed towards programming as it has
autocorrect for most code for the language that the user chooses when creating
the project,
Advantages:
·
Automatic
formatting – indenting, colour coding
·
Auto correct and
suggest.
·

many languages
·
Internal preview

multiple Oss
Disadvantages:

suggest changes the text when you don’t want it to
Comparison
Both of the programs have formatting however Komodo Edit better supports the programer. Both support many languages; however Komodo Edit allows
you to choose a specific, so it can help you with auto correct and suggest.
Conclusion –
In conclusion I believe that Komodo Edit is the most useful and is the
program I would use to write code in HTML. My reasons for this are because it
has auto-correct and suggest. It also speeds up writing code because it automatically puts in the close code, for
example, when I type <p1>, the program automatically inputs </p1>
at the end for me.
