KARL BENSON This has been absolutely essential in my work as a designer. As a person who works with the standards from the W3C (http://www.w3.org/), I find it to be best when you code by hand. All of those programs out there that let you produce the layout and then give you the code tend to output rather terrible HTML or XHTML. Doing it yourself not only lets you make sure that you're code is proper and well done, but it also allows you to acquire an excellent knowledge in how everything works. Taco HTML Edit may not have the most numerous or amazing features, but it gets the job done. It's quick to launch and doesn't interfere with my work when I'm fiddling away with my latest project. I must say, the developer has been quite useful for me. When he was working on PHP support in a beta version, I encountered a bug that crashed the program every time. Unfortunately, the thing that crashed it was the editing of a single line of code in my template file. I notified him and, in the next version to be released, the problem was fixed. Can't beat support like that. I hope to see this project continue to mature. I would love to see support for more markup languages, such as XSLT. Generic tag colouring for unsupported languages would be awesome if specific languages cannot be supported. I would also like to see colouring for CSS. With or without these features, however, I am nonetheless pleased with this program. (Version 1.7.1) |
