wbmkk Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Hi Everbody, this is my first posting I am learning HTML and so far have been using notepad only I opted against the idea of buying a ?full on? web page creator, such as Dreamweaver due to (a) cost ( my amateur / learner status as well as © the learning effect of actually hand typing in of the . Now I am getting there, so to speak, I fancy a text editor to help a bit, but still leaving the opportunity for direct HTML / CSS input. Another reason, is that having coding in different colours is always useful Do any readers have thoughts on the numerous free / cheap programs that are available. CoffeeCup is one option which keeps coming up on the internet, but how good is it Are there any better options Nothing fancy is required, and free would be nice. THANKS IN ANTICIPATION FOR ANY ADVICE !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falkencreative Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 This is really a personal preference thing... You just have to try editors until you find one that fits your coding style. My personal favorites (for hand coding, not WYSIWYG): Windows: -- Notepad++ (free) -- e-text editor (free trial, $35) Mac: -- Smultron (free) -- TextWrangler (free) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wbmkk Posted October 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Thanks for that I have downloaded Notepad++ and also PSPad, which both look to be pretty good, judging by reviews on various web sites. The CoffeeCup editor, although quite popular doesn't seem to get as many good reviews. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
