A text editor that can safely encrypt and decrypt with GPG

Given that fedora has a broken gedit for this task, is there a simple lightweight editor that can do that? Guess knowing Markdown is out of the question.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
gpg --decrypt-files $1.gpg
gedit $1
gpg --encrypt-files $1

Emacs has built-in GPG support (Tools -> Encryption/Decryption).

flyingfsck : that was very creative. Yet not connected with the issue.

The King of Comedy: thank you. It works well. And, with some tweaks there is Markdown as well. And an outliner.

distributer: yes, that's right. Geany does that too. And has syntax highlighting for markdown. Probably it's quite easy to set it work with pango as it has the project/compilation functions.
