Jove is a simple text editor in the spirit of GNU emacs, but somewhat
smaller and faster to start up.
There are man pages for jove and teachjove. Teachjove is for people who
have never used EMACS style editors. It is an interactive tutorial, THE
tutorial written by Stallman for the original EMACS, only slightly
modified for JOVE in the appropriate places. The man pages are
completely up to date, thanks to me.
A port of an extremely powerful FTE editor that was
originally developed for OS/2 and ported by its author,
Marko Macek, to X11/UNIX.
Among other features it supports syntax highlighting,
compiler invocation and error parsing and folds.

FXiTe is an advanced cross-platform text editor built with the Fox GUI
toolkit and the FXScintilla text widget. It features built-in syntax
highlighting for 40+ languages, an embedded Lua scripting engine, macro
recording and playback, multi-line regular expression search and
replace, rudimentary ctags and calltip support, a flexible interface to
external tools, and a built-in "message window" to capture the output of
external commands such as compiler error messages, etc.
Gate is text-gatherer. A text-gatherer is like a text-editor, but much
more lightweight and unobtrusive.
If you have a program or shell script that asks people to enter a small
chunk of text, a text-gatherer like Gate is a good way to do it. It
doesn't clear the screen (annoying if there were just some instructions
printed there). It doesn't require you to know a lot of obscure editing
commands. It doesn't make excessive demands on the intelligence of your
terminal emulation software.
It does provide a number of features that make it easier for novice users
to produce good text. It does word-wrap, prints a prompt on each new line,
and allows backspacing from the currently line onto previous lines. It
also provides features that a more experienced user can use. You can call
up normal editor, or use some of gate's simple-minded editing
commands. You can read in files, or save your text to a file. You can
filter your text through something like the Unix "fmt" command. It
provides a nice spell-checking interface too.
Gmanedit is the GNOME manpages editor.
It's an editor for man pages that runs on X with GTK. It's like most common
HTML editors but more easy. You need to know manpages format. You can learn it
from 'man(7)'.
gnotepad+ is a simple Gnome based text editor. It also has built-in simple
HTML editing with previews directed to Netscape.
gwrite is an HTML format text editor.
Features:
1. HTML5 file format
2. Standard word processing user interface
3. Content structure oriented word processing
4. Title style table of contents production
5. Similar navigation/documentation views in Microsoft Word
6. Paragraph selection when double or right click in navigation view
7. Word count: for document or selections, count the words(with and
without spaces), paragraphs, lines, English words, Chinese characters.
8. Images inclusion via Base64
ImPress is the WYSIWYG Publishing and Presentation for UNIX.
It can also be used within a WWW browser (e.g. Netscape) that is
capable of running the Tcl Plugin. The Tcl Plugin can be obtained from
the web site at: http://dev.scriptics.com/
ImPress can be significantly enhanced through use of several modified utilities:
o Pstoedit - Allows you to translate EPS files to Tk for ImPress use.
o Font3D - Translates TrueType font strings to vectorized Tk.
o Type1inst - Aids in maintaining Ghostscript Fontmaps and X11 fonts.dir files.
Award-winning editing for dynamic languages including Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby
and Tcl; plus support for browser-side code including JavaScript, CSS, HTML
and XML.
Background syntax checking and syntax coloring catch errors immediately,
while autocomplete and calltips guide you as you write.
Led is a small text editor, providing a number of the useful
programming features found in larger editors, but hopefully
with less bloat.
