That is a wrap guide. It can be turned off by selecting the Options menu, selecting the Text Area item, and then deselecting the Wrap guide checkbox. > - Somewhere in there is a python interpreter, or parser.

I have used the jython interpreter in jEdit to teach Python to beginners for a while now and it was worked fairly well. Treating the interpreter as a subset of the Sage language just might be a good idea. Another thing I have thought about is copying some of the Sage packages and modules into this environment so that more of Sage itself would be available locally. Finally, when the python interpreter is installed in jEdit, it allows jEdit to be customized and extended using python. > I don't know that this will replace emacs, but I will give it a > shot.

What I have done with sageide is to trim down jEdit a bit, preconfigured it, added some plugins, and then wrote an automated build system for it so that I can easily build instances. The help data is currently removed because my intent is to replace jEdit's help with a sageide version of help. jEdit should be able to run Sage code with the appropriate plugin, but I have not tried this yet. If you are interested in evaluating jEdit's full capabilities, I recommend downloading the latest version of jEdit from jedit.org and then installing any plugins that look interesting to you. Before downloading plugins, however, I would recommend going to the plugin manager, selecting Download Options, selecting Update Mirror list and selecting a mirror site. The main jedit site is sometimes heavily loaded and so plugin downloads from it sometimes time out. If you like anything in the standard jEdit, we can always add it to sageide.
