Under the Hood

Parchment automatically performs a few technical things in order to provide a pleasant text editing experience.

Trailing Whitespace Removal

When saving a file, Parchment automatically removes any whitespace characters at the end of each line.

End-of-File Newline Correction

Parchment automatically ensures that all saved files end with exactly one newline character. This means that files saved by Parchment will work correct when using command-line applications.

Text Files Only

Parchment refuses to open non-textual files; Any file containing a NUL character (byte of value 0x00) will be rejected.

UTF-8 Validation

Parchment refuses to open files which aren't valid UTF-8.

Building

Parchment compiles with Flatpak Builder.

flatpak-builder build ca.vtrlx.Parchment.json --user --install --force-clean
flatpak run ca.vtrlx.Parchment

To build and run the development version, add .Devel after the application's name.

flatpak-builder build ca.vtrlx.Parchment.Devel.json --user --install --force-clean
flatpak run ca.vtrlx.Parchment.Devel
