      Doesn’t have formatting, unless Notepad has got really adventurous at some point in the last decade or two.

        I recently noticed notepad now displays line numbers, so there has been some improvement… But it still shits the bed if you try to open a file that’s more than a few megs…

          I mean, I’d never use Notepad. Download Notepad++, it’s better in literally every way.

            Oh yes, I use notepad++ regularly. I opened something with notepad by accident the other day and happened to notice the change.
