# PyWordpad

A clone of classic (pre Win 7) MS Wordpad written in pure Python (no third-party modules), based on native Windows controls and ctypes/libffi

## Differences to original Wordpad

* No tab stop ruler (but tab stops can be edited per paragraph via tabs dialog)

* No print preview

* No support for embedded OLE objects (pointless), only images. Images can be embedded either by dropping them into the editor, via menu or via clipboard.

* Dropping a document into the editor loads the document (instead of embedding it).

* No editing of colors, it's meant for b/w documents (otherwise dark mode would't work)

* Natively supported document formats: .rtf and .txt. If [pandoc.exe](https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases) is found in the system path, the following document formats are also supported: .docx .odt .md .htm .epub

* Natively supported image format: .bmp. If [magick.exe](https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/releases) (ImageMagick) is found in the system path, the following image formats are also supported: .jpg .png .gif .tif

* Localized only for english and german (more languages can be added by duplicating and editing .json files in the resources folder)

* PyWordpad supports dark mode.
