BBEdit or TextWrangler are what I use the most, editing HTML. They're from the same company (Bare Bones Software). TextWrangler is the freebie version. BBEdit includes very good HTML templates for most HTML constructs and has a bit more powerful scripting capabilities. Another option is "Taco HTML Edit" from http://www.tacosw.com/. It is basically a 'smart' HTML editor with the ability to display live previews of your pages while you work if you so desire and a somewhat more sophisticated library of component templates that allow you to assemble some of the more modern, fancier bits of HTML UI easily. It's about $25, I think. I've used it a little bit, helping clients out with their HTML, and it works very well. Of course, iWeb comes free with Mac OS X. It's a WYSIWYG editor that I know gags AdamT, but it's quite good, produces very nice sites, and is pretty fast to learn and use. It produces good code that can be hosted on the MobileMe service or any other service (and exported to a local folder too). I had never touched it before when a client asked me if I could help her with something, so I fired it up and produced this test site in about six minutes: http://www.gdgphoto.com/iweb/ It has limitations but for a free website creation tool, it's darn good. (The consulting job earned me a nice fee ... and the client seems very happy with iWeb now ) -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
