547198 2007-05-05 05:09:00 I also use Notepad, works for me. I thought Dreamweaver and Front page were web site builders, not editors? Most likely wrong though. supergran (108)

Thanks everyone:thumbs: It all happened while I put up an electric fence around the house and mowed the lawns.
Dreamweaver seems to be the most popular.
pctek, I've played around with NVU a bit and am just wondering if it's related to Mozilla Composer?

You can edit html in Dreamweaver, although its primary use would be for web design. It offers both a text/html and "drag and drop" interface- depends on which you prefer. Dreamweaver also conforms to web standards more than MS Frontpage:groan: It's a bit like using MS Publisher for page layout and design:horrified :eek:

Kompozer (note the spelling) is a slightly more up to date version of NVU... and still free.

547204 2007-05-05 13:03:00 I use Kate (KDE Advanced Text Editor). The most useful things for me are assistance with indentation (e.g. select a block of text and hit tab to indent all selected lines) and syntax highlighting (displays strings, variables etc in different colours to make code more readable). I've attached an example of an editing session from a project I'm working on now. The example is a Ruby project - I don't do PHP so I don't have any examples using it.

P.S. Kate will be insanely difficult to run on Windows. The example should give you an idea of what to expect from a good editor though.

P.P.S. The more astute may notice I got my TODOs the wrong way around :D. I noticed after posting. Doh!
