Anyone recommend a good tutorial on how to use a plain text editor on a
windows PC, like Wordpad to write an HTML document?
As others have noted, there are many editors out there including many
free ones. If you will download either the latest free Mozilla or
Netscape browser you will get a free editor called the composer. It can
be clicked on at the bottom left of the screen. You can use only html,
templates, or a mixture thereof. It writes decent template code that
will validate in contrast to many other editors. Colors are used to
make the code easy to read. You can bring up images and it will
automatically select the correct computer address to link to them so
you can preview the page. You can store the page as a local file on the
computer to view there. Or the composer can be set up to FTP your page
to a directory at your web site. The neat thing is that it also
automatically changes the computer addresses of your images to relative
URLs and uploads these to the directory you selected at your site as
well - in effect one click uploading of a complete web page. It takes a
little time to learn, but is not very difficult to use. I am mostly a
plain page code writer, but the Mozilla/Netscape composer seems to be
one of the better free editors that I have seen.
