Text Trix project is a one-stop tool chest of text tools. An array of "plug-ins," specialized tools for modifying large amounts of text quickly and specifically, extends a broad base of quirky and unique features tailored for seamless textual navigation.

Requirements:
Java 1.4.2 or later

What's New in This Release:
New features include:

Wrap-Indent, renewed and reinvigorated: Total Line Align for uniform indentation within each paragraph; section indent by highlighting paragraphs and pressing TAB
(Shift-TAB to unindent); and numerous bug fixes
Line Find, featuring a permanent text box that navigates directly to the line as it is typed into the box
File refresher in case a file is changed elsewhere
Plug-ins can choose the region of text to work on
Extra Returns Remover plug-in, for reformatting emailed text, has a new options window, including the choice to include reply-region boundary markers, threshold line lengths, and list markers
Integrated Windowing Design is highly streamlined and simplified to keep all windows, including those from plug-ins, visible at once
Build process includes a "configure" script for streamlined customizability, reduced rebuilding redundancy, and expanded build tasks, such as API documentation
generation and program installation

Fixes include:

Search plug-in's Replace function follows more standard behavior and fixes a few critical errors, while the plug-in also includes a new "Results" field to summarize what it has done (#1007487)
Print function restores the indentation, including wrap-indent, that it apparently had lost (#1067823)
Auto-save no longer tries to save now-closed files (#1007497)
Faulty plug-ins no longer tear down the entire menu bar creation (#1092036)
