HTML-Kit

HTML-Kit is one of the best HTML editors available and it is completely free. As well as syntax highlighting for various file type (HTML, ASP, PHP, CSS, etc) it also allows you to validate you CSS and HTML with online validators - and check your HTML with HTML-Tidy offline. It is has a wide range of plugins available (you can even develop your own). Check out the extensive feature list. My favourite plugins:

  • cmCodePublish - formats your code to allow you to publish it as HTML (with syntax highlighting)

  • cmLookupWord - look up selected text in Google Web and Groups, Open Directory Project, Dictionary.com and Dict.org, Thesaurus.com, and Acronymfinder.com.
