Favourite html editors...

[justsomeguy]

vi is awesome.  I would use ConText but I'm not on windows.  I could definitely use an editor with tabs though.

You can run ConTEXT under Wine.

I forgot about the line number feature, can that be shown on notepad2? It comes in handy

[snowboard01]

look at the bottom left of the notepad2 interface line and colon is written there and I think u can make the line numbers appear in settings

I never seen that I did find the line number setting, if you click on view -> tick line numbers

I use Notepad, if you know what you are doing then this is all you need... the secret to Notepad is to use a font style and size that's easy to read... I use Verdana with bold and size 11 and blank lines between code blocks with hidden notes where necessary such as nesting tables... <!--table 1 start--> code and text <!--table 1 end--> I've tried the other editors & Notepad2, and find all the buttons and colored code distracting... but that's just me.... I say if it works for you then use it! METOOTECHAlso, Notepad2 doesn't handle long lines, large files or opening multi Notepad2 windows very well.

I usually only use notepad, but I'm gonna give notepad2 a try. Seems to be cool. I do have a random question though. What's the difference (if any) between ANSI, and ASCII?

[justsomeguy]

ANSI is the standards organization that published the ASCII standard. The ANSI organization also develops standards for protective eyewear, steeltoe boots, computer languages, film speed, just general American products. They came out with the ASCII specification first in 1963. Things that refer to "ANSI art" or "ANSI characters" are usually incorrectly referring to the ASCII standard.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ansi

Everyday is like a history lesson around here .There are so many things I 'knew' about never really understood what they meant or where they came from.I see ASCII refered to as ANSI all the time. I actually thought they were 2 different standards

[justsomeguy]

I was sort of thinking the same thing. Wikipedia cleared it up for me.

[The Praetorian]

Wow. I'm surprised more people don't use Notepad2. It's almost exactly the same setup as Notepad, but with a few minor improvements. The coloring for elements in html, xhtml, css, php and other forms of code is a big plus. As is the ability to see your document with numbered lines off to the side for easy reference.And thanks for the info. Notepad2 saves things in ANSI, so I wanted to make sure this was on the up and up.

Well, that's why I don't use it..I don't really consider being like Notepad to generally be a good thing. About the only thing it has going for it is speed, and I've even seen Notepad freeze up (mental note: do not open 2GB log files in Notepad).

(mental note: do not open 2GB log files in Notepad).

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

if I do that it says "this file is to large for notepad. would you like to open it in Wordpad?"

[justsomeguy]

Hmm.. maybe it was Wordpad that exploded then. But that brings up a good point, Notepad has a size limit. My beautiful ConTEXT has no such thing.

[The Praetorian]

Well, for a log file sure. The only thing I use notepad2 for is (x)html and css editing. And for those two tasks it's awesome.

you should add adobe golive

[gauravc7]

Dreamweaver 8, superb, either handlig, html elements or css.it's a WYSIWYG as well as it provides options for manual editing.more over it alerts & suggests the possibilites in tags and browser check.many features like ease of editing, userfriendly interface, find & replace with its expandability, commads & many other makes it unique.no comparisonif there is some other comparablelet me know

2 very different groups of devlopers are making those votes. Goes to show some of us are visually and creatively inclined while others of us are more procedural and text based.I fall into the latter.
