OT: Looking for a good, free and simple XHTML editor

[Tomasz]

Hi Everybody!

I am looking for some good, free and *simple* xml/xhtml editor I could
recommend my students. Yes, I know about Visual Web Developer 2005 Express
Edition, but I mean *simple*. I teach an introductory class and most of my
students would be overwhelmed.

Thanks for any hints,
TJ

Havre you tried googling for "xhtml editor" ?

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q="xhtml+editor"

Lots of editors there, and some are quite lightweight.

Thank you for the advice. However, my question was directed to those who
know.

Googling, installing and testing takes a lot time. It may seem like there is
lot of stuff out there but trust me, yesterday I spend 4 hours I found
nothing free and acceptable.

Notepad++ is a good, free multi-language text editor that will apply syntax
highlighting. It's lightweight and pretty easy to figure out.

I highly recommend Altova XMLSpy.

You can edit virtually any well formed xml, do transformations and much
more.

They have a free version that has an add popup when opening, but one button
click and you're off and running.

I used to use this product before but it seems like it is no longer
available for download and currently they only offer 30-day trial.

I use NotePad+ and I concur its the best I've used over the years but as for
the so-called "teacher" I'd say he shows himselfs to be lazy and incompetent
so why even bother? I pity the students.

Although I value every opinion, I would like to point out that voluntarily
posting baseless personal comments to the Usenet indicates the lowest level
of professionalism.
