HTML Editors

Many HTML editors can be found on the Internet and most computer applications now come with HTML editors built into the application itself, allowing you to create your document, then “Save as HTML” or “Save as Web Page”. HTML editors allow you to create your documents in a word processing-like environment, generally in WYSI–A–WYG (What You See Is –Almost– What You Get) mode so that you seldom need to directly add HTML codes or understand exactly how they are working.

FrontPage is the Microsoft HTML editor. There is few Ver of Front Page FrontPage 2000, FrontPage XP, or FrontPage 2003 they are Microsoft products, they have a familiar interface if you are already used to working in Word.

DISCLAIMER: Editors are simply computer programs and are only as good as their creator(s). While most HTML editors are good, if your document is complex with a number of specially formatted sections (especially tables and/or columns), you will most likely find that you need to go directly to the HTML code and “clean-up” sections in order to have it display as good as possible or to correct codes that may have become “confused” during translation or use a stand-alone HTML editor such as FrontPage.
