xed fully supports international text through its use of the unicode utf8 encoding in edited files. its core feature set includes syntax highlighting of source code, auto indentation and printing and print preview support.
xed is also extensible through its plugin system, which currently includes support for spell checking, comparing files, viewing cvs changelogs, and adjusting indentation levels.
