What program can I code HTML in?

Answer 1

Any text editor is usually capable of writing HTML.

Notepad and Wordpad (Windows and Mac programs, respectively) are the most common text editing programs.

However, there are text editors that have been made for use by web designers - by highlighting tags, colouring sections, identifying the ends and starts of brackets and parenthesis, and more. These programs will need to be searched for, to find what the true web designer wants. Many of the text editors may need to be paid for, but others are free to use.

Answer 2

Dreamweaver and Front Page are very good. Notepad you can code in because HTML is text-based however it will take you longer. If you are on Chromebook you can use CARET, CARET - T, Text, or Coding With Chrome

Answer 3

There are a myriad of possible choices if you want to write HTML code. HTML code is simply a specific way of working with plaintext. Therefore, you can use any plain text editor, like Notepad, Emacs, Vi, or TextEdit. Those pieces of software, however, don't do anything to help you with the sometimes complicated nuances of HTML.

The next step up would be Notepad++. This is a simple plain text editor, except that it also has basic syntax color-coding. This makes it much easier to spot a missing closing tag, or a mistyped tag. This is because you'll be able to see a break in the color-coding pattern.

If you feel like laying out a little cash, there are several WYSIWYG/IDE (What you see is what you get / Integrated development environment) software platforms available. The current industry standard, bar-none, is Adobe's Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver allows you to manage the websites using FTP, connect to project via CVS, Subversion, or Git, and provides an intuitive and easy-to-use graphical interface to manipulate the page without actually manipulating the code directly.
