HTML Editing Software?

(1/3) > >>

Froderik:
I'm looking for some good HTML editing software, preferably freeware.

I've been recommended packages such as CoffeeCup and DreamWeaver before, but they're not free as far as I know. Demo versions would be ok as long as there's a way to crack it so I could use it past the 30 day limit.

Until now I've relied on simple text editors (Notepad) to make web pages. Although this was certainly not the easiest or most sophisticated approach to designing a web page, it did have the positive side-effect of forcing me to learn how to use HTML tags.

On a side note, I'd much rather go about making web pages "the hard way" than use some inferior crap like MS-Word to edit web pages. That's just bullshit and seems like a useless pain in the ass.

So anyway, what's a good HTML editor???

I use vi, and I've actually made a living with it. :-) http://www.bostic.com/vi/

I think you're going down the right road using plain text editors. It's a lot more tedious to learn, initially. But it gives you more flexibility, and you wind up with code that's much cleaner, and easier to modify in the long run.

Yep. I've learned a little about how the code works, too...

I'm glad you posted this one since it looks like a really good editor & it runs on Windows (the 1st one appartently doesn't)

Thanks! :tup:
