Alphatk is a text editor that was originally inspired by the Mac OS-only editor, "Alpha", which was written in C, but Alphatk was rewritten in Tcl[1] to run on any platform that Tk runs on: Windows, Unix, and Mac OS X.
Alphatk is most useful for:
- programmers of more than 40 different supported programming languages.
- those writing a lot of TeX or LaTeX documents; and
- those editing HTML source files.
Called "a more pleasant alternative to Emacs",[2] Alphatk has very rich features to aid in writing and editing of the supported files types. As well as being useful for creating and editing such documents, Alphatk provides a host of facilities for communicating with compilers, diff, patch, version control systems, ftp sites, websites, etc.
A large part of Alphatk's functionality is provided by the open-source AlphaTcl library of code. There are several hundred thousand lines of code.
