COLETTE  Great html preview.

it brings "joy" in the work.  
(Version 2.5.3)

DIARBYRAG  Me again, my mother and father always told me that it takes a strong person to admit when they were wrong or hasty when making comment...

...well that day is today, I have downloaded and tried the new improved Taco html edit and the component part is... very good, I don't think you make enough of that feature as I did not see it the first time and I can't think of another program that does it as simply, even Coda which I do really like does not appear to have anything similar... unless anyone knows better

I will give it a thorough workout asap and perhaps apart from eating my words I may well be getting the credit card out  
(Version 2.5.3)

DIARBYRAG  Hey I used this program for a while when I was on the css learning curve and for free it was ok.

But 0 to 25$ is a step too far. 10$ maybe

But after a due consideration I decided it was way better to spend the necessary $'s extra to buy coda which is way better.

nice try, no cigar !

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.  
(Version 2.0.6)

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.  
(Version 2.0.5)

TESLANAUT  Wow. Really surprised that out of no where and no warning that it is now shareware.  
(Version 2.0)

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!  
(Version 1.7.2)

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.  
(Version 1.7.2)

MATRIM  This program is awesome but I can't seem to get the PHP to work. Any ideas? Besides that it's perfect  
(Version 1.7.1)

ANONYMOUS  Absolutly great, just need translations ! :)  
(Version 1.7.1)

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.  
(Version 1.7.1)

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)

MOLDARIN  Really good!

One of the best source viewers to companion your favorite web browser, and a reall good writer too!  
(Version 1.7.1)

ANONYMOUS  This app is absolutely superb. It's nimble, but easy to use, and is the first non-WYSIWIG HTML editor I've found that even a web design idiot like me can get to grips with in no time.

I'm very impressed, and thanks to the developers for their great work.  
(Version 1.7.1)

JJS1138  Taco fits my needs perfectly! I've been using it for some time and it keeps getting better. As soon as I have some free funds, I'll be making a donation!

A built-in tidy feature would be nice though. Maybe in the future.  
(Version 1.7.1)

BACHMAN  Great, work!  
(Version 1.7)

TACO LOVER  Great improvments over older releases.

The new toolbar icons are so nice, it's a pleasure to use them.

However i would like to have CSS syntax colouring, documents icons and a quick way to turn on/off wrapping instead of having to go through the preferences.

Keep up the good work, and thank a lot of keeping it free!  
(Version 1.7)

ANONYMOUS  Much improved from last time I tried it. Great job! Would be nice to see number of floating windows reduced, maybe by moving some things into drawers, but otherwise very useful. Thank you for keeping it free ....  
(Version 1.7)

JAN CINERT  Has problem with central european and x-mac-roman encoding  
(Version 1.7)

ANONYMOUS  Fantastic HTML editor! Runs beautifully on OSX 10.3.7 and does everything you want it to.  
(Version 1.7)

TOMIS  A very nice update. Taco is getting pretty slick these days. Good clean MacOS X toolbar icons only add to this.

There are some pretty powerful features in Taco, batch find/replace makes working on entire sites a breeze.

The new spelling support needs contextual menu support. Once, that happens it will be a joy to use.

Keep up the good work guys!  
(Version 1.7)

VADOR  Excellent. The live preview feature is great, the application is simple, free, with a good balance between ease of use and features. Thank you for making it free !   
(Version 1.7)

ANONYMOUS  I've been using Taco for over a year on Panther ... easy to use, lightweight, works well, love the live preview option.

Can't believe it's Free!

Thanks for this software!   
(Version 1.6)

SHENDRIX  One of the best editors I have used. Many thanks to the developer for this tool.  
(Version 1.6)

ANONYMOUS  Organize tags feature sucks, weird contextual menus, no contextual menus in the project list at all, lacks of CSS syntax colouring, php syntax coulouring should be more customizable, no doc icons, no batch find on selected files.

Well it's free, but this doesn't means that the product has to suck!  
(Version 1.6)

FLASHKIAI  Great application - I tried several free editors, and this is, by far the best of them all. It has almost all features I need:

1. Working on whole projects - very useful - you don't have to open multiple windows an switch them all the time.

2. Syntax highlighting.

3. Tags ordering and checking.

Tha app. is very flexible. The only thing I miss is CSS syntax higlighting - I can't understand why the author could not think about it. This woul make Taco the best tool - I wouldn't change it for any Macromedia or Adobe product.

Sure you have to know HTML - but hey, this is a HTML editor and it should stay this way.

Good job!  
(Version 1.6)

JEFE  I love the Taco! I use this app daily. I've gradually pulled myself away from dreamweaver and other visual editors, and so I started sampling HTML editors. This is by far the best free one I have found. Very stable, very simple to use, yet very feature rich. I love it.

And my Windoze co-workers think the Taco is cute.  
(Version 1.6)

RICCARDO  New in Mac World (old programmer in Windows ... bleah) I've found this great software. Easy, stable, fast and nice. You've have done a very good job, and is free.

Thanks.  
(Version 1.6)

ANONYMOUS  Excellent application! Thank you for making it free :-)  
(Version 1.6)

A MARTIN  Contextual menus, contextual menus, contextual menus, contextual menus, contextual menus, contextual menus, contextual menus, contextual menus, contextual menus, contextual menus, contextual menus, contextual menus, contextual menus, contextual menus, contextual menus, contextual menus, contextual menus, contextual menus.

Needed in a modern Mac OS X application (if you ask me).  
(Version 1.6)

JEREMY  This little app is phenomenal. I only downloaded it half an hour ago, and I've already used it to tidy up my website's main page. Neat.

The only thing that detracts slightly from its merits is the interface. Nothing functionally wrong with it, but it could use the attention of someone with a talent for GUI design. But then it's free, so nitpicking about the interface is just churlish.

An outstanding piece of work. I'm astonished by the power this application packs inside its modest size.  
(Version 1.6)

MACZAN1205  I needed a easy to use HTML editor - I know very little code and wanted to modify a couple files.

Now I am fine tuning everthing, this software is fantastic and easy to learn!

Thanks for the great software!  
(Version 1.6b1)

ANONYMOUS  Great html editor but lacks color syntaxing for CSS.

Also an option to modify color syntaxing colors, numbered lines in the editor with columns too would be cool.  
(Version 1.6b1)

DAVE  This app keeps getting better! I have been using it for a while and am always looking at new options, but keep coming back to Taco.

I find the customizable quick insert menu very helpful since I do a lot of work from similar templates.

The current release has a nice insert menu that will help many newbies who don't want to have to remember code. It is not meant to tech code, but I've learned a few things from its options.

Keep up the development. Two improvements I see this might need:

1) Option to search for new updates (I was using v1.2 long after 1.5 was released)

2) Live preview is still not perfect. It worked with my small files with local references, but not my bigger files that have http link sources.  
(Version 1.5.1)

FF9LOK3  I just needed a quickie for a family homepage of photo albums. I might update the page 3 or 4 times a year. Applework 6 made a mess and the double save (http & cwk) is annoying.

Of the freebies and demos (didn't try the sharewares) this was the easiest to use and figure out.

You will need a little HTML knowledge or a pocket reference.

Just wish the window view option (split or not) was a savable preference.  
(Version 1.5.1)

ANONYMOUS   Yes there is a live preview !  
(Version 1.5.1)

TAK  Very nice, perfect.

I'm using this app for months, but I have no dissatisfaction at all.

But, one more feature can make this app even better: tabbed windows (now I have to open several windows to edit my website)  
(Version 1.5.1)

TONY  Insanely ggggrreat ... about as good as its gets before Dreamweaver or BBEdit (according to taste).

I just wish someone could make the live preview thing a two-way street, the way it is in Dreamweaver (drag over WYSYWYG text in he preview, code highlights in text editor, and vice versa).

Silly? Do it in DW and you're hooked.  
(Version 1.5.1)

HISBONENUS  AWESOME little application.

Of special note is the "clips" menu, which even gives keyboard shortcuts to your clippings!

I also love the "advanced tag insert" which is GREAT when I forget the html coding for an attribute.

It doesn't get much better than this!  
(Version 1.5)

THOMAS  This is one of the best editors i've found. I've been looking for alternatives for Dreamweaver for a while now and this is GREAT! Now if i could get it to suggest atributes it'd be even better. Also a built in spell check (spell as you type) would rock!  
(Version 1.5)

TOM  Great program. No bugs found so far by me. Has few features, but a big plus for me is it color codes tags. I purchased HTML Creator, figuring it was a deal at the $15 or $20 I paid for it, but the guy who makes it refuses to color code tags. I've even emailed him about it in response to his "feedback" email he sent me. Nothing. I use Taco exclusively because what's most important to me is to have the features that make coding HTML easy and productive rather than focusing features I rarely use. Oh yeah, and it's free.  
(Version 1.2.1)

ANONYMOUS  very fast, very stable HTML Editor

requires to know about HTML, but then it's a great tool to work with.  
(Version 1.2.1)

TRIP  love it , needs more but love it  
(Version 1.2.1)

DAVE  I have been using this for about 2 months and altough I use very few features, I like the interface and have NEVER had a single problem with it. I know little about advanced programing, but to write and view simple HTML this is a very handy application.   
(Version 1.2.1)

CHRIS   Very good, simple  
(Version 1.2.1)

DAVIDCRICKETT  It is missing different doctypes and the inserted elements to act accordingly. If this was implemented it would be a fine html editor.  
(Version 1.1.3)

JONEDWARDS  Great stuff! Offers most of the same fundamental features as BBEdit, including color-coded tags, preview with browsers, find & replace, etc. The GUI could use some smoothing out, but not because it's difficult to use; the icons are just a little jagged. Otherwise, this is a great program for basic HTML coding!
