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 Windows.
41. 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 has a Windows native version and a JAR file for Macintosh and Linux users.42. Notepad++
Notepad++ is a Notepad replacement editor that adds a lot of features to your standard text editor. Like most text editors, this is not specifically a Web editor, but can be used to edit and maintain HTML. With the XML plugin, it can check for XML errors quickly, including XHTML.43. Stylus Studio XML Professional Suite
Stylus Studio XML Professional Suite is a powerful XML editor with a lot of features.The professional edition adds spell check and the option to use it commercially. If you do a lot of XML work with your website, this product would work for you.44. oXygen Pro
Oxygen is a high quality XML editor that allows you to validate and manage your XML documents, including XHTML. It offers validation and schema evaluation of your documents, as well as various XML languages like XPath and XHTML. It's not a good choice for Web Designers, but if you have to handle XML documents in your work, then it's a good choice.45. 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. One nice feature is the version control included in the IDE which is really useful for people working in large development environments. If you write Java and Web pages this is a great tool.46. Trellian WebPage
Trellian WebPage is one of the few free Web editors that offers both WYSIWYG functionality and image editing within the software. It also allows you to use Photoshop plugins to customize it even more.47. 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.48. XMLSpy Standard
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 Standard edition is the perfect edition for freelance developers who need to edit XML and don't have a lot of database connectivity requirements.49. Stylus Studio XML Home Edition
Stylus Studio XML Home edition is a powerful XML editor with a lot of features. The home edition is specifically for students and casual home users and it doesn't have a spell checker. If you're doing a lot of XML development along with your Web page design, and it's not for a commercial site, the home edition would work for you.50. Stylus Studio XML Enterprise Edition
Stylus Studio XML Enterprise edition is a powerful XML editor with some Web editing festures. It is primarily for large enterprise XML development and includes features like visual XML design, rich formatting, and more. If you work at a corporation on a lot of XML documents, this product is perfect.Do you have a Web editor that you absolutely love or positively hate? Write a review of your HTML editor and let others know which editor you think is the best.
