HTML EdItoR

question of preference.

[hzane]

I am looking for an email editor to replace notepad for on the fly viewing.

Just want it to color code tags (to some degree) and add the white space for me.

The smaller, faster, and more solid the better.

Any prefs?

If you do a search, you'll find plenty of threads.
TextPad sounds like it's exactly what you need.

CuteHTML by Globalscape. I wont use anything else, not sure why... but i am comfortable with it.

Is there any that has less HTML overheads?

It is really a pain to use purely notepad for editing.

hapEdit is pretty good. Just be sure to turn off "smart tabbing" somewhere in the options. Its anything but smart.

I've had great results with UltraEdit and EditPlus. EditPlus in particular.

EditPlus - definitely.

ScinTilla is lightning fast and has a very handy fold code function.

Have just started using Crimson, and I seem to like it. Small, fast, html, perl, etc support, find/replace incl. RegEx...
Really, there are lots of good tools by now.

Yep, I love the editor - great syntax highlighting and code hints, especially for doing php/html, but the tabbing is a problem. I've corresponded a lot with the author and made many feature requests and he's added a bunch of them (the feature where it highlights matching braces, for example - thank me or curse me for suggesting it).

Emacs.

Supports every language I have encountered. Beautiful highlighting and auto tabbing. Autocomplete. Macros that save me at least an hour or more every day. Free.

I don't understand how anyone can charge money for a text editor given the quality of the free ones.

And it works the same in windows and linux. Keeps you from having to get good at two editing programs.

I do use textpad - which is great at parsing huge amounts of text quickly, even better than notepad in some instances I have noticed.

Call me lazy or whatever but what I'd love to see is the html editor portion of DW MX as a standalone product...

My personal preference is also EditPlus - by far the best editor I ever encountered

SciTE - based on Scintilla... colour coding for multiple languages, code folding, fast, light - superb!
