Windows Text HTML Editors

31. Alleycode

Alleycode is a free Web editor that focuses on search engine optimization. There are a lot of built-in features and links to the Alleycode Web site so that you can check your site ranking, optimize your meta data, and otherwise improve your search rankings. While I don't recommend sites that "guarantee" top-level ranking like Alleycode does, that doesn't mean that their Web editor isn't any good. One feature I really like is the conversion tool to convert HTML tags and text from upper to lowercase and back. Very handy.

32. PageBreeze Professional

PageBreeze Professional offers you all the features of PageBreeze Free HTML editor, but with a few extra features. You can purchase the software directly or get it free when you buy FormBreeze form processing for your Web pages. If you know you'll have a lot of Web forms to maintain, this editor could be a very good deal.

33. 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.

34. Serif WebPlus

Serif WebPlus is a Web site editor that is perfect for the small business owner who doesn't have time to learn HTML or Web design. There are hundreds of pre-built templates, fonts, and icons included. This is not a good design choice for a Web designer or someone who wants to become one. While you can edit HTML in this tool, it isn't easy to do. And while you can import your site into the tool, it changes the HTML on import which can make things look odd.

35. XMLwriter

XMLwriter is an XML editor. It offers a lot of great features for editing and managing XML. This is a great program for Web developers who work with XML as well as their Web pages, but it's not primarily a Web editor.

36. XML Spy Pro

XML Spy is one of the premier XML editing software packages available. It provides all you need to edit and maintain large repositories of XML data. XML Spy Professional edition is the mid-level edition for corporations that have large XML needs, but not as many Web services.

37. ColdFusion

ColdFusion is not exactly a Web page editor, as it acts as both the editor and the back end server to handle complex functions. You need to have ColdFusion running on your Web server, and in the most recent versions it is primarily server software and much less the editor to write CFM files.

38. TopStyle Pro

TopStyle is a CSS editor and HTML editor in one. It was built by the same person who created HomeSite and has the same quality of workmanship. You may be familiar with free versions of TopStyle CSS editor that come with various Web editors, but the pro version is a full Web page editor all by itself. If you deal with complex CSS, you'll want to check out this editor. One neat tool is the ability to preview how your style sheet would make any page on the Internet look. This is a great way to test new styles on your existing pages without breaking anything.

39. XMLSpy Enterprise

XML Spy is one of the premier XML editing software packages available. It provides all you need to edit and maintain large repositories of XML data. XML Spy Enterprise edition is the premier edition for large corporations looking to manage and maintain repositories of XML information.

40. AceHTML Freeware

AceHTML Freeware is a slimmed down version of AceHTML Pro. It offers a lot of great features for building and maintaining Web pages. It doesn't have tag completion turned on by default, which I find annoying. But it does default to an XHTML Web page rather than plain HTML. It detects what browsers you have installed and puts them in the browser testing window for you, which is nice, but as usual defaults to IE for preview in the tool. It also has a code evaluator that checks for errors and tells you the weight of the page.
