About HTML-Kit 292
HTML-Kit is a free text editor with a lot of features. It’s one of the more popular text editors available for Windows. It has tag completion and HTML and CSS validation and a lot of features you wouldn’t expect in free software. The only issue I have with it is that it doesn’t default to HTML, you have to convert your documents to that. Many of the About.com Guides use HTML-Kit because it is so easy to extend and make macros for. It is also one of the only free editors I’ve found with support for accessibility validating.
You can also try the most recent version of HTML-Kit HTML-Kit Tools. This is paid software, but there is a free trial available.
