About.com readers speak out about their favorite Web editor features, from WYSIWYG to code view and everything in between. What do you think is the most important feature of an HTML editor or Web page editor? What do you think?

easy gear change; edit drop-downs

I like an easy gear-change between raw code, preview, and Wisywig edit or "draft view". In draft view I like to edit drop-down menus easily for my shop stock. I like a parser that leaves the code the way I want it and I like a site editor that spots broken links and FTPs to my site.

1 - It needs to look clean.

2 - File tree on one side of the main window that can access ftp folders 3 - Built in browsers are a plus, but not a substitute for popular browser testing. 4 - Color code my code. So many scripts are fixed by noticing where the color deviates in the text. 5 - NOT a WYSIWYG

not WYSIWYG

grrr I hate those stupid editors that are wysiwyg only. My clients love to use them but they break the pages more often than they edit them, and then I'm callec back to fix it all.
