Pe (Programmer’s Editor)

Pe, short for Programmer’s Editor, is an open source text editor for BeOS. It is targeted towards source-code editing, and features syntax highlighting for a large number of programming languages. It also works as a basic source-level HTML editor, with some HTML autocompletion support, automatic updating of files included within other files, and direct FTP integration. It was inspired by http://alternativeto.net/software/macintosh-programmer-s-workshop/ and http://alternativeto.net/software/bbedit/ -- both editors on MacOS. Pe boasts features such as function autocompletion, powerful search-and-replace options, and syntax highlighting for several programming languages. Pe was ported to Mac OS X, Linux and Windows under the name Pepper, and the original BeOS code was open-sourced. It has been included in early builds of http://alternativeto.net/software/haiku/.
