I really like this program. I am wondering how can we make this page a little longer. oh and stick the URLs http://sourceforge.net/projects/notepad-plus/ and notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/ Aceofspades 21:14, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Features Section

It seems as though everything after the first two paragraphs should be put into a Features section. Furthermore, the list of programming languages and list of translations should be replaces with a quantitative statament (ie Notepad++ supports XX languages) with a link to the official list cited as a reference. Any thoughts? Objections? --Hamitr 02:13, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability

This certainly seems notable enough to warrant an article. There are innumerable less-noteworthy subjects on Wikipedia. Lots of people use and recommend this application. As it happens, I stumbled across this article while researching open-source text editors for Windows. Isn't research the sort of thing one uses an encyclopedia for? -- 208.255.162.94 18:05, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Something that is notable is ... well ... noted. I personally have not found any reliable sources that note Notepad++. Have you? --Iamunknown 18:49, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia has numerous pages that lack "reliable sources". Why single out this one? creativename | Matum u mok-aan! Matum u shara-hai agh golug-hai! 04:26, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS is not regarded as a valid argument to keep an article. Plenty of articles exist on Wikipedia that probably should not; so see first if you can improve them, and if not, delete them. --Iamunknown 06:04, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Notepad++ is used by programmers, there is a lot of evidence that programs really like Notepad++ (download.com has 62 votes all 5/5 [1]) a lot of the statements (like features) do not require citation as it is not disputable, however as some people still want citation, I suggest just looking at its site, or downloading it and have the feature hit you in the face. --Adam1213 Talk + 05:59, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unicode support ?

Does anyone have information about whether Notepad++ supports Unicode, and if so, whether it is fully Unicode compliant? DFH 16:32, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Notepad++ has unicode support how to tell what its set to
