simple editor just for the text in webpages

[Michael Peters]

I need a simple editor to edit the texts in static html pages. Is there a
program for that? It should be something very simple, nothing like
Dreamweaver. I don't need to edit any tables, structures, etc., just the
texts.

Which applications do you know? In what way do they meet your
requirements? And how do they fail to meet them? Makes it easier to come
up with an appropriate answer. Otherwise 'Notepad' might be as good an
answer as any.

I'd stick with simple text editors such as notepad. If you want a few more
bells and whistles (eg: syntax highlighting, code completion, etc) then I
recommend HTML-Kit.

If you must have a WYSIWYG editor then the Mozilla Composer seems to be nice
enough but I haven't used it much.

Sticking to Notepad seems unnecessarily masochistic. NoteTab has a lot
more features, but has a nice easy learning curve (you can use it just
like Notepad if you want to) and the Light version is free. Search the
archive of this group and you'll find numerous other suggestions.

EditPad, which has a free lite version would be a good choice,
too. Like what I infer from NoteTab's name, it's tabbed, for
having more than one file open, albeit there's no syntax
highlighting. It's my default text editor here in Win, but I'm
only using Win because I'm on an old Win laptop while I do some
hard/software upgrading on my main (Linux) box. Over there I use a
member of the vi family.

Personally, I like Crimson Editor (http://www.crimsoneditor.com) - it
has syntax highlighting that you can customize easily.

Whats your experience with the mozilla composer? I am considering
downloading mozilla suite. I know the Netscape suite but did not like
that the browser is the same executable as the composer. Is this
different in mozilla suite now? As it is different with the mail client
thunderbird, which was also the same executable as the browser
previously. Is the install of mozilla customizable in a pretty detailed way?

Thanks for you comment.

My favourite for this is EasyHTML from www.toniarts.com/ehtmle.htm . It is
dated now, but very good for simple HTML editing. It has some JavaScript
plugins, but I don't think that it knows about CSS. The bottom half of the
screen shows you your page, and any changes, even unsaved, are shown there.
