I hoped that under the tree would be a solution to all my software
problems, but failing that:

Can you folks recommend a text editor that
a) lets me click on links
b) lets me color sections of text in any of several colors, like my
email program does.
c) lets me display graphics, photos, etc.
d) multiple tabs or something that makes it easy to edit different
files.
e) Doesn't have the overhead that Word or LibreOffice do. At least I
think that those too use a lot of RAM and cpu cycles. (I could have
checked first, but until I started to write this, I was certain they
did.)

Right now I'm using Notepad++ where urls work but the text is all black
and white, and no graphics. It ha a and d but not b or c.

And I've used my email (Eudora) which has all of 1-4 but other items in
the outbox keep making it hard to find the file I want.

Some other text editors seem mainly for programming and regard each line
separately, don't flow paragraphs like I want.

The moment you add graphics, then you are seeking for word processors
rather than text editors.

And graphics means a lot of memory needed.

Sounds like a job for HTML, maybe etherpad?

Even if you don't need the collaborative editing, maybe being able to edit it
from multiple computers would be handy?

I use Notepad++ and find it has great features, but is just a text editor.
Like others say, if you add graphics, it's no longer a text editor.

Notepad++ is also setup to colorize your text based on the extension (type of file). CSS code might color one way, highlighting css
functions, comments etc.
HTML will colorize another way.
All forms are set in default config files that you can edit if you can get through the learning curve of their config.

In Linux, not sure if it's available to Windows, but I use geany there. This is a bit closer to a IDE, but the plus for it is that it's
fast and can handle larger files.

It seems that Wordpad fills the bill, except for having tabs.
Microsoft's RichEdit window is an impressive piece of technology,
and very fast. It was originally the basis of Word.

You can use LibreOffice for multimedia if you want.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreOffice

HTML allows mixed media, and in an email tool, it
could be an HTML Editor that allows pasting stuff in.

But true text editors, don't allow fluffy features like that.

I'm personally not interested in such a programs, so I have no
recommendations for you. But I have a suggestion:

Do a Goggle search, find all the text editors out there, try them all,
and see which one best meets your needs.

nope. microsoft word began as a dos app in the early 1980s, then
entirely rewritten for the original mac in 1985 which was later ported
to windows.

Windows Wordpad ("C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe")
will give you all of those things except d) multiple tabs.

Jarte ("https://www.jarte.com/features.html") will give you d) multiple
tabs, in addition to everything Wordpad will give you.

To get b) and c), the program would have to be a word processor, not a
text editor.

Files saved with color and graphics will not be .txt plain text files.

I forgot wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_text_editors

The list is not very good, it doesn't mention features, or for what
operating system they are. But it has a list of further links to see:

See also

Comparison of text editors
Editor war
Line editor
List of HTML editors
List of word processors
Outliner, a specialized type of word processor
Source code editor

Which is a good starting point.

The "List of word processors" has another list:

See also

Comparison of word processors
List of office suites
List of text editors

So, this is a good place:

Maybe I can just resign myself to using LibreOffice, or iirc SWrite
which is the word processor. (And to using memory. Once I get back to
my desktop I'll have plenty of memory._

I think someone told me before that Wordpad could handle graphics, and I
thought I checked and decided he was wrong, or it didn't do it well
enough. But I know I can easily be wrong so I just checked again and
it's pretty good, maybe great. And it colors the text if you want (and
remembers the previous color), you can click on links,

And it doesn't have tabs but if you click on Open, it list recent files.
You have to save the current file to go to another one, although maybe I
can avoid that by starting separate windows. I'll try that. Yes, that
seems to work, and the hint in the taskbar includes what file I am
editing. (Most of the time I use just two files, To Do, and PhoneCall.
Sometimes Niece and a couple others. But even if I have 5 taskbar
entries, I can remember what order they are in or look at the hints.

>Microsoft's RichEdit window is an impressive piece of technology,

I found that last week in my Downloads or Programs directory, and didn't
remember why I had it. I'll try that too.

This is an impressive page. One or more people went to an awful lot of
work to write it, and yet it doesn't say much about what I wanted to
know. But I enjoyed looking at it and I haven't closed the page yet.

Learning curve. :-)

The About page uses a bunch of words I don't u nderstand like "special
Desktop Environment like KDE or GNOME - Geany only requires the GTK3
runtime libraries."

But then a few lines down it says "Geany is known to run under Linux,
FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, MacOS X, AIX v5.3, Solaris Express and
Windows." I almost missed the word Windows.

On the download page there are links! I'll try it.

This is a bit closer to a IDE, but the plus for it is that it's fast
and can handle larger files.

FWIW, I'm not really a fluffy kind of guy, but I frequently want to copy
patches of webpages to my notes, or even a picture from the web.
Usually it gets deleted after I discuss it with someone.

If the others don't work, Libreoffice it is.

If you already have a version of MS Office that includes OneNote, I
believe that will do everything that you asked for. Then again, I
haven't gone back to review your list of requirements. I know it has
tabs and I know you can paste anything into it, including plain text,
rich text, audio, video, graphics, and who knows what else.

The free alternative to OneNote is called Evernote. A couple of my work
colleagues like Evernote better than OneNote.

+1 for OneNote. I couldn't exist without it now. Lots for formatting options,
and you can set hyperlinks to paragraphs within OneNote (or pages, or sections)
as well as websites, and files. It's become an "index" to my entire life.
Whenever I get some snippet of information (like to to disassemble the sofa we
bought) then it goes into OneNote, and the powerful search facility can find it
when we need it in a few years.

It turns out OneNote is included in Win10 now. This seems like bad news
for the authors of EverNote. I'm going to try one or the other.

Stable WordPad Editing Engine
At the heart of Jarte sits the same word processing engine used by
Windows' WordPad. ...

Jarte Plus (now free) is a GUI frontend to WordPad that can, for
example, manage the multiple windows of WordPad into multiple tabs.

Instead of tabs, why can't you have multiple WordPad windows open? You
could drag them to the screen edges to snap them there, and have
multiple non-overlapping WordPad windows to bounce between. There are
several ways to concurrently display multiple windows, even those opened
by the same program.

How many concurrently opened documents will you have that you need to
bounce between when editing them? Even with tabs, you'll have to bounce
between them as you would with WordPad windows.

With multiple windows (instead of tabs), you can align them side by side
(vertically or horizontally) to see both documents.
