2,948 PointsLooking for a text editor that's good for css and html coding
hi everyone,
I've been looking for a good text editor for HTML and CSS coding. Just like to know what do you use.
I am looking a text editor with the following features:
- can clean up dirty or bunched up codes - expand them and give them tab
- recognize colors in HTML and CSS and has an easy color selector
- can predict and recognize CSS and HTML values
I use both mac and windows 7 for coding. Currently I am using Textwrangler (mac) and Notepadd++ (pc). Both have some plus and minus (textwrangler doesn't give suggestion and notepad++ doesn't auto format). I tried Dreamweaver (CS2 and CC 2015) but i feel they more clunky than my liking.
Are there good text editors that can offer these features easily?
Thansk, Cliff
