Emacs Text Editors app for Android description
GNU Emacs is an extensible, customizable, free/libre text editor — and more.
At its core GNU Emacs is an interpreter for Emacs Lisp, a dialect of the Lisp programming language with extensions to support text editing.
The features of GNU Emacs include:
- Content-aware editing modes, including syntax coloring, for many file types;
- Complete built-in documentation, including a tutorial for new users;
- Full Unicode support for nearly all human scripts;
- Highly customizable, using Emacs Lisp code or a graphical interface;
- A wide range of functionality beyond text editing, including a project planner, mail and news reader, debugger interface, calendar, IRC client, and more;
- A packaging system for downloading and installing extensions.
Android notes:
- System keyboard can be invoked by tapping on a non read-only buffer;
- Permissions are not granted by default, they must be explicitly enabled in system settings menu;
- Android version of emacs is built without GNUTLS support;
