Looking for a good HTML editor... for Mac

jhardman

I have gotten very used to writing my HTML code in notepad, but have recently switched to mac. Although NotePad has some problems, the mac equivalent, TextEdit, is terrible! I can save a file OK, but when I open it again it switches to WYSIWYG mode, which I can't stand, and I can't figure out how to get it off.

What I would really like is a simple, easy editor, hopefully easier to use than one of those old command-line editors, but not necessarily with more function. I don't want a WYSIWYG editor, but I guess one that anticipates and prompts would be OK. Does anyone know of a good free program available for mac?

I have no clue I don't have any MAC experience the ones I've seen weren't free.

Yes, thanks for the advice, but if I had just wanted a list I would have tried google first. I wanted to know if anyone had experience and could give unbiased opinions, not just what the developers think of their products. I have come to dislike taking the time to download a program only to find out it is little better than the default system software, and not worth the effort to download.

Anyway, I guess I'll check out Kestrell's links

Actually, there is a free open-source all-powerful web designer called PHP Designer. While originally made for PHP, it can help with html, css, etc.

Just download the free version:
