On that note, please realize this site has hardly been touched between Oct 2000 and July 2009 and, consequently, so many links are bad.
You would do better to google some of the terms you find here.

Lugaru Epsilon - an Emacs work-a-like - My Favorite Editor for the past 20 years

  • Lugaru
  • Regular expressions - may be becoming a lost art.
    FYI. with Epsilon I was able to remove html from this doc by doing user conditional scan of this document with the expression
     R-E Query Replace: %<[^>]+%>  with: 
    This translates to search for every instance of a '<' followed by any number of non-'>'
    characters until you reach one '>' character. The '%' signs exist to tell the editor to treat these as normal characters
    and they may not be necessary as they are not special characters to Epsilon.
