Re: [PLUG] What is your favorite HTML editor?
|
Dan:
What do you mean when you say "HTML editor"?
If bare bones is your thing then take your pick of the pack: VIM or jEdit are
my main choices although there is plenty of others that have syntax highlighting
and other useful features: Gedit, emacs, etc.
For the WYSIWYG type of editors I've used Nvu (now KompoZer) and Quanta. I
liked KompoZer better than Quanta which seemed a bit "odd" to me. Nevertheless,
I almost always end up in the "bare bones" category after a short time because I
cannot get it to do something or other that I need.
A word to the wise (3 words actually) if you have not been doing HTML coding for
a (long) while: "Cascading Style Sheets" (CSS). Extremely powerful, useful,
etc. There are plenty of example, reference, and tutorial sites out there for
CSS. A well crafted style sheet is worth it's weight in gold. After while
you'll forget you ever knew the <FONT...> tag :-)
Best of luck!
