About Emacs:

Like vi, Emacs is found on most Unix systems and Mac systems which makes it easy for you to edit a page even if you don't have your standard software. Emacs is a lot more complicated than vi and so offers more features, but I find it harder to use. Feature highlights: XML support, scripting support, advanced CSS support, and a built-in validator, as well as color coded XHTML editing.

  • Text editor
