# Dev/Environment/Text editor

From XOWA: the free, open-source, offline wiki application

XOWA files are standard text files. They can be opened up in any text editor that supports the following:

- Unix-style line-endings (ASCII 10)
- UTF-8 encoded with no Byte-Order-Mark

The following is a list of recommended text editors based on operating system:

- Windows: Notepad++: http://notepad-plus-plus.org/
  - Do not use plain Notepad. It uses Windows-style line-endings and does not support UTF-8.
- Mac OS X: TextEdit
- Linux: gedit or kate
