Where do I find a simple HTML Editor

Davmac40 · 02-04-2009, 10:31 PM

Hi Warriors,

I'm way out of my depth with website designers - I'm an aged pensioner with far more knowledge of steam than computers.

Due to a virus I recently lost a simple HTML editor that I have used for a few years now and fully understood.

Since then I've downloaded two other HTML editors and found them way too complex for my knowledge level.

All I need is something that allows me to enter in plain text and it automatically converts to HTML. I do know how to add colors, bold, italics, hyperlinks etc. But I need something that automatically converts plain text to HTML.

Can anybody help with a suggestion please?

Cheers,
Davmac

Hi Davmac,

This one takes plain text files and automatically coverts them with basic html tags (so you can continue editing the html afterwards), it's free:

What was the simple html editor you had before the virus?

Aloha Davmac

You might want to check out NVU at Nvu - Download . This is a free HTML editor.

You might want to check out Sea Monkey The SeaMonkey Project. This is basically Netscape under another name, and is very simple to use. It comes with a suite of tools you probably won't need, so when you install it, select "custom" and deselect the mail client and instant messenger.

The HTML software is very easy to use, and will convert plain text into HTML.

Hi Davmac,

I have been using KomPozer and can recommend it highly. If you need some simple, down to earth instruction on building a website, website design, etc, I can also recommend some great instructional videos... you can check them out posted in my signature. Let me know if you need more help.

Thanks Warriors,

I appreciate the kind help offered by everybody and am busy following up all of the suggestions.

What I like most about this forum is that a pure dummy like me can get logical and helpful responses from people with far greater talent.

Thanks everybody your help is invaluable.

Cheers,
Davmac

the simplest html editor is notepad but if u want soemthing really helpful use dreamweaver

. good luck

Josh Rossdale · 02-11-2009, 12:21 AM

I would recommend using Visual Studio 2008 Express edition.

jerson · 02-11-2009, 04:28 AM

HTML simply notepad.

dreamweaver. or other free editor search it to google

rosesmith · 02-11-2009, 11:06 PM

Basic HTML Editor is a program which helps to code in HTML. Basic HTML has also got some in-built HTML codes like Center, Page title, and Marquee. You can also save your HTML file and back up of your code. Back up code will be saved in txt file.

What your looking for is a WYSIWYG editor. Xsitepro in my opinion is one the best HTML editors available.

It includes hundreds of templates, allows you to insert video, allows you to insert Amazon and Google Adsense ads and a lot more without looking at the code.

wizzard2009 · 02-18-2009, 01:43 PM

I've got a program that converts word documents into web pages. Send me an email and I'll give it to you for free.

aisling · 02-19-2009, 11:47 AM

I'll chime in to endorse Nvu at net2.com/nvu/download.html

I write my HTML by hand, when I need to, that is. (I'm switching all of my sites to WordPress, and that eliminates most coding needs.)

When I use an editor, I'm using the old 1st Page 2000... but it's not for beginners.

I tried Dreamweaver, but when I needed to edit something, I preferred the clean code of Nvu. The fact that Nvu is free makes it my first choice when I recommend a WYSIWYG editor.

Allen Bell · 10-16-2009, 09:58 PM

Try nvu. you can get it free from download dot com. It has both the HTML and WYSIWYG. And just push a tab and ot turns one into the other and back again.

Fox30 · 10-16-2009, 10:13 PM

I would also check out KompoZer - Easy web authoring

casben79 · 10-19-2009, 10:42 AM

if html editing is not your thing try yola.com i have found them great in the past, but have moved on to more advanced stuff.

Orlando Web Design · 10-19-2009, 11:07 PM

download dreamweaver cs4 on a free 30 day trial at adobes website

timeworks · 10-21-2009, 12:19 AM

I agree with some on this that NVU is a good free editor but it has not been updated or is maintained anymore. The developers switched to KomPozer which is a decent free program.

The more advanced I get the more I am using Dreamweaver. Good Luck.

Jmanwarrior747 · 10-21-2009, 02:24 PM

Hello DavMac, I use simple HTML KIT, by chami.com , it does all that good stuff for free, i've learned html just using this kit, here's the link;
www.htmlkit.com/download
good luck

HTML Editor, Flash & Web Design Software | CoffeeCup Software

....is another free one!

jacoberoi · 10-22-2009, 03:09 AM

Install a notepad replacement. If you want to look under the hood of html, try notepad++. It's free, light and easy. However it doesn't convert anything. But it's great to look at your coding.
