Text editors are HTML editors that allow you to manipulate the HTML tags directly. Some HTML text editors also include a WYSIWYG editor, while others are purely text. This is my list of the best HTML text editors for Macintosh.
11. SeaMonkey
SeaMonkey is the Mozilla project all-in-one Internet application suite. It includes a Web browser, email and newsgroup client, IRC chat client, and composer - the Web page editor. One of the nice things about using SeaMonkey is that you have the browser built-in already so testing is a breeze. Plus it's a free WYSIWYG editor with an embedded FTP to publish your Web pages.12. skEdit
skEdit is a great text editor for Macintosh. One of the things I appreciate about skEdit is that it's a lifetime purchase. Once you pay the nominal fee, upgrades are free for life.13. Style Master
Style Master takes a different approach to Web page design. Instead of focusing on the HTML, it focuses on the CSS - so that you can work on the design of your sites in an intuitive way. I've found that many Web sites have much more complicated CSS than HTML code, so this is a great program to use to untangle the mess.14. Coda
Coda has a lot of features and functions that combine together to make a great Web page editor. It uses Transmit to transfer files, has a built in terminal and DOM inspector, and many of the features you expect of a text Web editor. I'm not sure if it has extended search and replace, but it does use regular expressions in a fairly understandable way to do complex searches on your pages.15. Arachnophilia
Arachnophilia is not free - it's "careware", but just because you don't have to pay cash for it doesn't mean it's not a good product. In fact, it's a great text HTML editor with a lot of functionality. The color coding makes it easy to use. It may or may not work on Mac and Unix. Feature highlights: Color coded XHTML editing.16. Komodo IDE
Komodo IDE is a great tool for developers who are building more than just Web pages. It has support for a wide variety of languages including Ruby, Rails, PHP, and more. If you're building Ajax Web applications, you should take a look at this IDE.17. EditiX
EditiX is a great XML editor. You can use it to write valid XHTML documents, but it's major strength is in the XML and XSLT functionality.18. NetBeans
NetBeans IDE is a Java IDE that can help you build robust Web applications. Like most IDEs it has a steep learning curve because they don't often work in the same way that Web editors do. But once you get used to it you'll be hooked.19. Smultron
Smultron is a very simple HTML editor for the Mac. It offers text editing and HTML validation as well as extended search and replace across multiple files.20. Taco
Taco was recommended to me by some readers, and when I checked it out it does seem to be a full-featured text editor for Macintosh.What is your favorite HTML editor? Write a review!
