More About Better Text Viewer

**Description**

Better Text Viewer is a lightweight, customizable extension that facilitates reading plain-text files in Chrome. Get the same view of your file that you would in Notepad++, Vim, or any other decent editor, including:

* Line numbering
* Line unwrapping
* Syntax highlighting

The extension automatically determines when you are viewing a plain-text file, and guesses the language based on the file extension-- no configuration necessary [NEW: Content-Type headers taken into account as of v 2.0].

Support will be included for more languages in the future. All bug reports should be submitted via my website's contact page:

NOTE: Enable the "Allow access to file URLs" option on the extensions page for maximum functionality

**Technical details**

As mentioned before, Better Text Viewer is a very lightweight extension. After detecting that the current page is a plain-text file and matching the extension to a language mode, it wraps the text block in an in-browser editor instance using code from the amazing open-source CodeMirror project.
