HTML Editors

  • Dreamweaver Alternatives

  • Free Text Editors

    • Note Pad - is a software that comes with PCs and it can be used to write HTML code. NOTE: WordPad or Microsoft Word should not be used to write HTML code because they generate code that creates conflict with the code that you write.
    • Crimson Editor - A Safer Company uses this editor even though we also use Dreamweaver. It is fast in loading time and small in size and offers many powerful features for coding HTML, C/C++, Perl and Java. It has syntax highlighting for HTML, C/C++, Perl, Java, Matlab and LaTeX, etc. It also include undo/redo, user tools, macros, spell checker and more.
    • Amaya - Amaya is a web editor that is used to create and update documents directly on the Web. Browsing features are seamlessly integrated with the editing and remote access features in a uniform environment. This follows the original vision of the Web as a space for collaboration and not just a one-way publishing medium. Work on Amaya started at W3C in 1996 to showcase Web technologies in a fully-featured Web client. The main motivation for developing Amaya was to provide a framework that can integrate as many W3C technologies as possible. It is used to demonstrate these technologies in action while taking advantage of their combination in a single, consistent environment. Amaya started as an HTML + CSS style sheets editor. Since that time it was extended to support XML and an increasing number of XML applications such as the XHTML family, MathML, and SVG. It allows all those vocabularies to be edited simultaneously in compound documents.
    • Notepad++ - a free editor that can be used instead of notepad.
    • Web Authoring
    • Dreamweaver - website editing
