Tickle Text is a fast, lightweight text editor written in Tcl/Tk, by [tonytraductor] and released
under the terms of GPL v. 2 or later (requires Tcl/Tk 8.5 or later).

http://www.linguasos.org/tcltext.html

Tickle Text supports editing of a wide variety of text files or scripts, including .txt, .py, .tcl, .css, .html, .c, .sh, .pl, LaTeX, etc.

TickleText is "themeable", includes an integrated dictionary and a calendar.
It can toggle line numbers, toggle word wrap, can insert a date, count your words, goto line #,
insert special characters, open an xterm or a wish terminal, open multiple windows for editing multiple documents, open a browser, export to PDF, 
both from any text file,  AND from .tex (LaTeX) files, export LaTeX to HTML, and, 
TickleText even has a LaTeX document template wizard, and another template dialog for writing tcl scripts, 
and (added 040708) an html wizard to write metatags and set up a web page.

I could not have built this groOVy editor without this wiki and the gracious assistance
of various tclers on #tcl @ freenode.

Tickle Text is a testament to the awesome power, yet ease of learning and use of Tcl/Tk,
since, I started learning to hack Tcl, as my very first programming language (other than simple bash scripts)
in January of 2008, and, at the time of this posting, it is yet September of the same year, and I've made a pretty useful editor with numerous features.
Of course, it's also a testament to the community, as I've received plenty of assistance on #tcl at Freenode on IRC, too.

If I keep hanging out on this wiki and #tcl, pretty soon I might become a real hacker!
And I'll hack my code with Tickle Text, of course.
