So, while many text editors like <a href="/wiki/Microsoft_Notepad" class="mw-redirect" title="Microsoft Notepad">Notepad</a> can be used to edit source code, if they do not enhance, automate or ease the editing of code, they are not <i>source-code editors</i>. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Structure_editor" title="Structure editor">Structure editors</a> are a different form of source-code editor, where instead of editing raw text, one manipulates the code's structure, generally the <a href="/wiki/Abstract_syntax_tree" title="Abstract syntax tree">abstract syntax tree</a>. In this case features such as syntax highlighting, validation, and code formatting are easily and efficiently implemented from the <a href="/wiki/Concrete_syntax_tree" class="mw-redirect" title="Concrete syntax tree">concrete syntax tree</a> or abstract syntax tree, but editing is often more rigid than free-form text. Structure editors also require extensive support for each language, and thus are harder to extend to new languages than text editors, where basic support only requires supporting syntax highlighting or indentation. For this reason, strict structure editors are not popular for source code editing, though some IDEs provide similar functionality. </p><p>A source-code editor can check syntax while code is being entered and immediately warn of syntax problems. A few source-code editors compress source code, typically converting common keywords into <a href="/wiki/BASIC_interpreter#Tokenizing_and_encoding_lines" title="BASIC interpreter"> single-byte tokens</a>, removing unnecessary whitespace, and converting numbers to a binary form. Such tokenizing editors later uncompress the source code when viewing it, possibly <a href="/wiki/Prettyprint" class="mw-redirect" title="Prettyprint">prettyprinting</a> it with consistent capitalization and spacing. A few source-code editors do both.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
