HTML Editor??

[Brett Baisley]

Whats some of the better HTML editors out there, that don't do anything
fancy. I am basically looking for an editor that just changes the color of
the text depending on the tags used, and maybe a few other features. Not
wysiwyg or anything.

Oh, and works on WinXP.

Thanks

HTML Kit is a favourite, as is 1st Page, but the very best is Brucie's
Dirt and Pointy Stick V2.03 http://www.bruciesusenetshit.info/editor/

I looked at one called html kit I think that was pretty good.

Stoneware has a full library of html, css and javascript tags and
attributes.
Plus a nifty little ftp program.
Color coded tags? Any color you like.
Various file types are easily catalogued and called with a couple of clicks.
The one drawback is, it's geared to 800x600 internally so if you want
something bigger, you have to save and view in a browser.


Ace has a bunches of prebuilt javascripts but I prefer stoneware.

Does it have any support for ISO-8859-2 and UTF-8 encoding?

Hard to learn but by far the most flexible, feature-rich, comprehensive
source code editor on the planet.

Well if they built that slow-loading website using *vim* it's an apalling
advertisement for their product.

Have you looked at the source code :~((

You are obviously misunderstanding what Vim is. It is not an HTML editor.
It is a *source* *code* editor. For any kind of source. Perl, PHP, C++,
HTML, Ada, VisulaBasic, whatever.

Also, the slow loading of the website, IMO, has more to do with their
method of inclusion on the server than the HTML. Note that the site is
broken into sections and the sections seem to load separately. Their
server is overloaded or small or something along those lines.

Later...

I tried dirt-and-pointy-stick 2.02 and 2.03 is actually a significant
upgrade!

I have been using NoteTab Pro for years now. It has a clip bar that
you can create your own clips (code) to do about anything. It has
some colors for tags. I love the search disk feature that will search
for code in all of your pages in a directory to make changes.

Hmm we've got too many choices here. I compiled these and a couple more
from another thread I started (Re: Best editor for learning php).

free, preview tab, color coding, spell check, color picker, table tool &
other junk like that. Built in HTML reference is useless.

Nedit
http://www.nedit.org
has built in syntax highlighting for a number of languages, including
HTML, CSS, PHP and Perl (there are about
20 supplied, and it's easy to write your own syntax highlighting rules
or download them from the 'Net). Nedit does auto-indentation and allows
you to program in macros for commonly used edits. It has a nice search
and replace function that supports regular expressions. There is
bracket-matching: if your cursor is by a ) or a } or a ], Nedit will
highlight the opening ( or { or [, which is very handy if you're trying
to find syntax errors in Perl! If you have a bit of PHP like: <?php
include("myfile.php"); ?> and highlight the "myfile.php" with your mouse
then go to File>Open Selected on the menu, "myfile.php" will open up.
No need to find your way through the File>Open dialogue!

If you are not happy with the syntax highlighting for HTML, you can
change it or download a more up to date one, if you are not happy with
the Template (I think it defaults to the Transitional DTD), you can
write you own and replace the default one.
I once wrote a syntax for my OPML files so it isn't so difficult to
write yours...
Only downside is that it is not really suited for a Limited Account User
in Windows XP; I got round this by installing it into a folder where I
have read/write access (the preferences ini files are stored in the
Program Files folder which a limited Account user will not have
read/write access to).
