Linux/UNIX Text HTML Editors

By Jennifer Kyrnin, About.com

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 Linux/UNIX.

21. Cute User-Friendly Text Editor

Cute is another *nix text editor. It doesn't have a lot of features specific to Web page editing, but it can save sessions and open multiple documents at once so it's easier to use than some text editors.

22. gEdit

Gedit is a GNOME text editor for Linux and UNIX. It offers good functionality for a text editor, but not all of the features you might want for a fully robust Web page editor. This editor was recommended to me by some other About.com Web Design site readers.

23. SciTE

SciTE is a source code editing program for Windows. I wouldn't recommend using it for Web editing, but if you need to make quick changes to your HTML, this program will do the job.

24. Zend Studio Pro

Zend Studio is a PHP IDE that works well for most Web designers who need to manage PHP Web sites. Standard edition does not include database connectivity or FTP and the Pro version does.

25. Website Meta Language

WML is very complicated. It bills itself as a product for Web developers who are "hackers" and it does a lot more than just edit the Web pages for you. Feature highlights: Color coded XHTML editing.

26. eWebEditPro

eWebEditPro is an online, browser-based Web editor for businesses. The idea behind this editor is that it offers WYSIWYG editing capability wherever you are. You just pull up a browser, go to the page that needs editing and login to the editor to edit it.

27. Zend Studio Standard

Zend Studio is a PHP IDE that works well for most Web designers who need to manage PHP Web sites. Standard edition does not include database connectivity or FTP and the Pro version does.

28. XMLPro

XMLPro is a validating XML editor. It is not easy to use as an XHTML editor, but it is possible. It is free to individuals, education, and non-profits. I couldn't find pricing for businesses.
