- Bibledit is a open source multiplatform collaborative USFM editor, useful for correcting USFM Bible source texts
Multi OS
- GNU Emacs – an extensible, customizable text editor—and more.

- Notepad++ – an open source editor based on Scintilla.[1][2] The source code is now on Github.
Notes:
- ↑ Scintilla does not properly support right-to-left languages like Arabic and Hebrew. While text in these languages may appear correct, it is not possible to interact with this text as is normal with other editing components.
- ↑ The XMLTools plugin facilitates checking XML syntax and validation, e.g. to an external schema such as for OSIS. XMLTools also has various options to "pretty print" and linarize (sic) the XML.
