WikidPad 1.8 Review
If you were on the lookout for a wiki like notebook which stores thoughts, contacts, to-do lists, ideas or anything else, perhaps you should take a look at WikidPad 1.8. This application is a bit different. What makes it different? You can easily cross link your info with this app. When you type in WikiWords links are created. A WikiWord is a mixed case word typed into the editor. Examples of this are JohnDoe or To-do List. In Hawaiian, wiki means quick, wikidPad is about linking information quick. The included features are on the fly WikiWord linking, auto completion, attribute based document indexing, incremental search, text styling, export to HTML and auto save.
This software comes as a free download with a 30 day trial limitation. It requires Windows 95 or higher. If you are used to Wikipedia, this freeware is a blessing. Computer programming, comparative literature and such fields mean taking and organizing notes. This software has the benefit of Wikipedia as well as Notepad.
The layout of this software is not too alien to Notepad users. You need to get familiar with the wiki format. Once comfortable with it you can wikify any aspect of your work and life. This app is stand alone and open source. There is good enough documentation to guide you along and reading this documentation is necessary. This extremely useful academic tool helps you track, schedule and more
