HTML Editors

[Apocalypsse]

What editors have you used? I started out using some random program, cant remember what it was, but I soon switched to Coffee Cup Editor, from the times I have used it, it was quite an effective program. Havent had much need for a HTML editor recently but anything that needs editing I just use the one the webhost provides. My question is, what editors have you used for anything HTML related & were they any good?

I have only ever used dreamweaver for HTML and other coding but I use note pad most these days

I'm also interested in HTML editors, free for start, if possible. Dreamweaver is not for free, right? And I'm just curious: Does any editor colours specific parts of HTML code so it is clearly visible? Can you choose which parts of code you will colour and the way you'll do this?

For simple site editing I use HTML editor on Freespaces.com free hosting.

At the begning you shlould use the note pad for editing the HTML code then you should move to other programs like Dream Weaver.

I use EmEditor for html and other code editing as well. It supported many other formats like xml, C, C++, Assembly, bat, C#, CSS, ini, java, java scripting, perl scripting, perl, ruby, sql and more.

I can't install EMeditor at the moment, can someone try it? There is a free version available also.
Here are features of a proffesional version shown.

For HTML I am using weaverslave; when I do PHP I prefer notepad++ and then there's topstyle lite for CSS coding.

Whilst I agree that one should start leaning HTML with a text editor, I think one should pick something more advanced than plain notepad.

The pro used "MS FrontPage." I'm not the pro, but I also used MS FrontPage Editor. It is so simple & very reliable.

If you are using some HTML validation tool and you get report: message in 315 line, in 602 line...you can simply copy-paste the site HTML in an PSPad or Crimsoneditor and you'll see figures in front of HTML lines. This way you'll check your HTML much faster then in usual Notepad.

You can also download either Notepad++ or Notepad2 from their respective websites which have a very intelligent syntax highlight. I would recommend it to any HTML user.
