Editors

Basic Text Editor

For learning HTML, use a basic text editor like Notepad (Windows) or SimpleText (MAC) to actually type in the HTML tags and contents for your HTML document. Save your file as text only with the name followed by .html or .htm extension instead of .txt and open the file in your browser to view it. To upload the page to your ISP, use the name like index.html or .htm required by your ISP for your first page or front door. BigNoseBird.Com's First Impressions Page: Why your main page matters most. This process of obtaining a working knowledge of HTML should make it easier to choose and use an editor in the future. WYSIWYG vs. Hand Coding, the Great Debate presents reasons for using both. NoteTab Light v 4.95 free Text and HTML Editor that allows you to control the output. Top ratings are given by those who use Dreamweaver, CoffeeCup HTML Editor, HomeSite and Arachnophilia (careware). Others suggest to look at DiDa. I use CuteHTML like a text editor with the advantage of color-coded tags and line numbers to make it easier to test along with CuteFTP.
