Arachnophilia 4 also features tons of predefined toolbar buttons to insert common tags, customizable syntax highlighting, table wizard, list wizard, built-in FTP client, instant browser preview, multiple document search & replace, a full-blown well written help file and much more. Moreover, Arachnophilia is one of the few HTML editors that can be customized with user defined buttons that perform user-defined tasks (here's a screenshot of my setup). My tutorial on Setting Up HTML Kit will familiarize you with the user interface of this fantastic program and will help you if you're feeling a little overwhelmed by the default setup.ĭespite being somewhat dated, this is still one of the best HTML editors around and beats the pants off alot of the buggy, half-baked 'junkware' that I've had the displeasure of downloading and testing as of late. HTML Kit also features a plethora of toolbar buttons to insert common tags, a snippets library, templates library, directory folder view, customizable syntax highlighting, bookmarks, built-in FTP client, a user preferences dialog that will knock your socks off and much, much more. I've become so accustomed to this feature that I can't imagine using an editor without it and currently know of only one other editor that can actually do this (but not to the same extent as HTML Kit). The most outstanding feature of HTML Kit is the ability to create a user-defined toolbar populated with buttons that perform user-defined tasks (such as inserting your own code snippets). This is simply THE BEST free full-featured, fully customizable HTML editor EVER. In my humble opinion, it is plain, straight-up, false advertising to call a WYSIWYG editor an 'HTML editor' since the primary task of a WYSIWYG editor is to avoid having to edit any raw HTML source code.
Many, many times, I see WYSIWYG editors touted as 'HTML editors' and it irks me to no end. WYSIWYG is for those who do not wish to work at the source code level of a web page but instead wish to edit a facsimile of how the web page actually looks, much the same way you would use a word processor. A WYSIWYG editor is a WYSIWYG editor is a WYSIWYG editor.
A WYSIWYG editor (a.k.a., visual web editor) is not an HTML editor. On the other side of the coin you have WYSIWYG editors. An HTML editor (a good one anyway) will provide many ways of automating the insertion of HTML tags in order to make working at the source code level a lot quicker and a lot easier. Typing out HTML code character-by-character can be a laborious task even for the most accomplished typist. First of all, I think some definitions are in order:Īn HTML editor is a text editor that makes the editing of HTML source code much simpler.
