GHOKIE  Taco's a good little program. I used v1.x (free) for basic code management. However, $24.95 for this program is a little steep. I've switched to Smultron, which has basically the same functionality and is free/donationware.

If you're looking for a capable editor, give Smultron a try.

RICOBLUES  I've use Taco for a lot, making 15$ of dontation. The software was not implemented so I switch to SkEdit (great editor).

Programmers work must be supporte. Shareware is good, donationware too, but I'm very sad to know Taco is shareware without any information or upgrade policy.

Have a nice day. Riccardo.

GLOBETROTTERDK  Absolutely great - and it is free of charge. Amazing. I only wish it was possible to edit files directly through Yummy FTP, the same way that TextWrangler can.

Keep up the good work!

IRNBRU001  I've used it for a while now and I'm not impressed. I find all the features clunky. It just is not smooth enough or crisp enough to use for large projects.

It's free but that doesn't make it worth using.

AKROBAT  It's not meant for large projects as you put it. I suggest you use Dreamweaver or one of the other 'pay-through-the-nose' apps. Eveyone else here finds it definately worth using, so... that's your problem really.

MATRIM  Now it works fine. I don't know what I was doing wrong but I changed some settings and now it works. The problem is, I'm not sure what I changed.

Anyways, thanks for replying.

MATRIM  I figured out what my problem was. I hadn't saved my file as *.php. Or, more accurately I hadn't saved it all.

CLICK THA S.L.  When I click the "Live Preview Window", the app freezes and I have to force quit it. please help me, what should I do now. I need this program as I'm working regularly with it.

I won't give any bad ratings, although because of this horrible bug I have considered to do so.

ANONYMOUS  As ever, the first thing one should do when an app starts misbehaving is to delete its preferences file.

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.
