Which text editor to type htm files?

[pointertovoid]

Hello dear friends!

Up to now, I've made my htm files with a Wysiwyg editor (Namo), and presently a general text editor (Metapad) for better control of the code.

I plan to stay at a text editor but would gladly accept some help from it, like highlight the htm keywords, maybe insert tag pairs and special characters. But not much more: for instance, no automatic saving of images.

It must run on Win 2k and Xp, if possible 95b.

Which editor do you recommend? Thanks you!

Would good ol' html kit 292 be "too much"?

Thank you once again, Jaclaz!

Downloaded, installed and briefly tried. It does run on W2k, and claims to works with W95, nice.

It does already more than what I sought but it does it well and is quick to learn. Very seducing. Maybe I use it for htm instead of a text editor.

Other suggestions still welcome!

I believe you might be able to get Notepad++ to run on Win XP/2000, I've used it for coding websites before and it works really well - and it has some extra html/css features -

I am not sure about working on Window 2000: "Notepad++ v6.6.9 is the last version that can work on Windows 2000". Not to mention Windows 95.

HomeSite was the thing then. It is not a general text editor, but an HTML editor. Still not WYSIWYG and full control of the code.

And there was Arachnophilia written in Java (right, requiring Java 2 runtime environment).
