HTML Editor

I usually just do my HTML in Geany, but every now and then I try to find a good dedicated editor to recommend to people. Dedicated editors have some advantages a regular Text Editor might not: You can make projects, which contain all the files in your website, so you can quickly get to different pages without needing your file manager open, live previews of how your page will look.

• Arachnophilia.
• Brackets is a popular HTML-focused text editor.

Ones that I think might be worth recommending.

• Your word processor can probably export HTML files. LibreOffice and Microsoft Word sure can. Spreadsheet software can usually spit out an HTML table too.
• HotGlue is a browser-based editor. You can use it on https://hotglue.me, or host it yourself. It's easy to use, you can just plonk stuff anywhere. It's like a Wiki, where you edit pages in-place, if that makes sense.
• BlueGriffon is a free editor descended from Netscape's old pack-in HTML editor.
• Maqetta - Browser-based.
• Amaya
• HTML-Notepad - Editor for simple HTML documents.

Gunna just mention Frontpage and Dreamweaver, because those are how I got started learning HTML in the 90s :) Last time I looked at Dreamweaver it was post Adobe buying it, and it looked like a mess.

What You See Is What You Mean. So they give you a preview that gives you some indication of how things will look, but also shows you what elements are where. Sounds cool! I haven't tried anything like these before.

Wikipedia gives these two examples:

• LyX - Seems more of a LaTeX editor. A little digging makes it seem like the HTML export plugin isn't being developed anymore?
• WYMeditor

• HTML
• Text Editor
• HTML editor
• List of HTML editors
• Comparison of HTML editors
• WorldWideWeb - The first Web Browser/editor.
