Title: xHTML editor suggestions?
Post by: JohanR on January 21, 2012, 05:56:58 AM

Hi,

Any suggestions for a practical xHTML editor?
I am embedding bits of xHTML in NTWS procedures.

Currently using FrontPage, but am finding that it does not generate compliant code and it is resulting in errors.

I'm only half kidding.

<G>
I knew I had to add a PS that some brightspark would mention Notepad, and that it does not count.

Seriously,
I know, and am looking to upgrade my Boxer text editor, the latest version has impreved html support,
but would be nice to have a simple editor that I can do small clips of html in and that will verify the syntax, or wysiwig.

Or if I want to add simple headers/paragraphs in between fields, or above/below forms, some examples would be a good start.
My html knowledge is close to zero.
Which tags are not needed, and which ones are essential in the NTWS framework, if I embed bits of HTML?

thanks

Johan

Ok, took your advice and some feedback

I am using a combination
of Boxer Text editor (html syntax coloring),
or still use Frontpage, but validate the html code with an online validator

thanks

If you have tagkeys there is a neat little html tags section prepopulated with standard HTML code snippets and (obviously) you can add you own.
eg
The below took me 2 keystrokes
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Webpage Title</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
test
<B>NewProductCode</B>
</BODY>
</HTML>
