Good Text Html Editor

Does someone know good text HTML editor for web page creation?(sure, I mean text editor, not WYSWYG). There is no reason to stick with Notepad when there is a set of the various special html editors much more convenient than ms Notepad.No any of microsoft products does not not suit for html editing, and Frontpage is absolute rotten.

Dreamweaver MX 2004.Adobe GoLive.There are no better. None to my knowledge anyway. (Yes, text editors.)

try textpad it is a nice text/html/scripts editor and it's shareware. the new version have cool function like line highlight and transparent dialog box

Sorry, forgot, I would like freeware editor. Keyword is 'freeware' (or GPL)
What about HTML-kit, Crimson Editor, NoteTab http://www.notetab.com/ ?

i prefer shareware, coz it updates frequently. the downside that it has a text indicated as unlicense or share ware but no expiration date

I use Textpad and Macromedia Dreamweaver MX.Textpad is faster in opening and switch files but dun no how to get it to edit and read various languages code.Dreamweaver MX is good to use, it has an assistant to help to complete your code and it can read languages code.Generally, both are good.

Textpad is faster in opening and switch files but dun no how to get it to edit and read various languages code.

click here then download the syntax definition you want to add. in every zip there is a readme file

 

to associate files in textpad go to Configure -> preference then Associated Files, add file extension (eg .txt) and description.

 

there is also an addons like dictionary, html tidy tools and more in the same site.

 

- enjoy

Surfing through pages I ran into: Alleycode - Free HTML (WYSIWYG opt.) Text Editor

 

Maybe it suits your needs..

Good text HTML editor must produce clean code without any garbage. So, WYSWYG editors does not meet this requirements.Macromedia Dreamweaver MX gives less garbage compare vs Frontpage, but still has code garbage. Professionals do not like use a programs which generates garbage code. So, Macromedia Dreamweaver MX is not choice of professional.Its quite enough to have few main features:-HTML syntax support(you do not need remember all html syntax);-simple table wizard;-CSS support;-support for main programming languages(Javascript, VBscript, Perl, Phyton, etc), useful Javascript library;-color code highlighting;-page preview in web browser(IE, Netscape, Mozilla)Must be stand-alone program, small, does not require many disk space,does not required any other libraries nor programs for it to run, doesn't store data into the system folder, doesn't interfere with the Registry.

What the? Dreamweaver makes no garbage if you set it up right. If it does with you, you just couldn't be bothered with setting it up properly.

And it's excellent standards support, validation, browser checks, etc, make it the perfect tool for a professional. It's autocomplete is almost flawless, and I have seen no program, not even Adobe GoLive which surpasses it in any of their features.

 

Its quite enough to have few main features:

-HTML syntax support(you do not need remember all html syntax);

-simple table wizard;

-CSS support;

-support for main programming languages(Javascript,  VBscript, Perl, Phyton, etc), useful Javascript library;

-color code highlighting;

-page preview in web browser(IE, Netscape, Mozilla)

Actually, my list would be a bit diffrent:

(X)HTML / CSS / JavaScript / Additional markup support with autocompletion.

Decent code colouring (highlighting).

Instant validation & (spell) checking dependant on the specified DOCTYPE. And a very strict validation, as for that matter.

Optionally? :

(S)FTP Support integrated.

Page previewing (I don't like this though, it's unreliable, and how hard is Alt-Tab, F5?)

Browser compatibility checks.

Auto indeting and goodies like those.

Maybe some more I can't think of now...

Although bloating a program is bad...

 

The best programming editor is Eclipse, but I don't think it supports HTML / CSS editing as of yet, or maybe in an alpha stage. It's still under devellopment.

Hmmm

you can try http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and look for one.. they have freeware and shareware downloads..

i dunno if this will be much help but meh.. have fun

Macromedia Dreamweaver MX System Requirements: 275 MB available disk space(!!!!)

Price: Full from US $399, Upgrade from US $199

So, is there any sense buy such tool? Whereas there are many free very good HTML editors with same features, but much more simple.. No, there are NO ANY SENSE buy Macromedia Dreamweaver MX. Or you can create better web page use specifically Macromedia Dreamweaver MX? No, you can no. Any good freeware html editor can do the same.
