About HTML-Kit Tools

HTML-Kit Tools offers all the features of HTML-Kit 292 with a lot more features. It is the next version of HTML-Kit, but the developers have decided to charge a fee for the upgrade. HTML-Kit Tools add features like snippets, project management, validating all your files at once, even creating videos. Two of my favorite newest features is support for SVG and a button for running validation queries again after you fix things—this can really speed the process. They have also added a new image picker and it's a lot easier to preview in multiple browsers.
