HERMES Paige

Formerly a DataPak product, Paige is a cross-platform library that allows the programmer to build professional apps that leverage styled text entry and/or editing capabilities. Unlike its Open Source rivals, this project is meticulously documented, having a manual that runs to over 900 pages, and, unlike the RichEdit control included in the Microsoft Foundation Classes, it stays fully within the programmer's control at all times.

HERMES Paige is well-suited to building elegant and functional word processors, document viewers, electronic book readers, eMail clients, code editors, groupware, HTML and Markdown editors, and all other kinds of apps where long-form plain or rich text is manipulated. Though it is not yet compatible with Chinese, Japanese, and Korean input, this is a high priority in its development
