jEdit (http://www.jedit.org/) is an opensource, cross-platform text editor that has some very useful features.

The one I particularly like is the ability to "fold" the text file. When an HTML file gets to be more than a couple of screenfuls, the ability to fold it is really important.

I stumbled across this editor while I was searching for something else :) and downloaded it for a trial - I think it might become my main editor.

There are things I wish it could do, but there are lots of plug-ins and lots of people making more (and they will help you make your own) so anything is possible.

I have no connection to jEdit or it's creators. I'm posting this for information only.

Take care, Margaret

Arachnophilia at http://www.arachnoid.com/arachnophilia/ is also worth looking at.

or try emacs, context, crimson, editpad, vi, xemacs...


ummmm... yeah, emacs for sure :nod:

though, visual studio 6 has the editor also nicely done... [but that's far from opensource or free :lol: ]
