What is an HTML Editor?

An HTML Editor is used to write the foundation of a website. Text using an HTML editor can also be translated to other languages such as CSS, XML, JAVASCRIPT etc. Some editors might be easier to use while some provide more functionality than others. 

When Should We Use An HTML Editor?
An HTML Editor is an invaluable for both beginners and more advanced developers. The basic features of HTML editors, like syntax highlighting, inserting common HTML elements.  For example, the editor will notify us that we have forget to put the end tag </ in a code element. Therefore we should not limit yourself by not using some sort of HTML Editor. There are 2 types of editors available, WYSIWYG and Textual HTML Editors.  
Let's start talking about our first type

WYSIWYG Editor vs. TEXTUAL Editor

WYSIWYG EDITOR:- WYSIWYG is an acronym for What You See Is What You Get. These editors provide an editing interface that shows how that code looks on a working web page.  Using WYSIWYG editors does not require any HTML  knowledge; therefore, it is much easier to get started for an inexperienced user with no coding experience.

TEXTUAL HTML EDITORS:- Textual HTML Editors are text-based. We should have textual HTML knowledge when using these types of editors. Features include opening files -- either a single file, a whole project or multiple projects are universally available for all editors. When using a textual based editor, we can't see a live preview of the site. This type of editor may provide more freedom and personalized options. Using a textual editor, we may better optimize web pages for search engines. For example, it's possible to create a web page that follows the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), so that people with disabilities can view your web page.

SOME OF THE BEST HTML EDITORS:-

  1. ATOM:- Atom is an HMTL editor that came out in 2014 and gained tremendous momentum since. Atom is a free, open-source code editor, and it was developed by the GitHub team. Atom uses a free software license for its package and it is maintained by the GitHub community. It aims to offer a premium feel to the editor while keeping it completely free. As well as the flexibility to customize the software itself. As for the tagline, they boast as a hackable text editor for the 21st century. It means that developers can contribute to edit, extend, change, and share the program source code as well as create their own packages to improve Atom.

2. NOTEPAD++:-  Notepad++ is a free HTML editor that was developed for Windows-based machines. Linux users can also use it via Wine. This editor is distributed as free software and its repository is also available in GitHub. Like other community projects, third-party plugins are supported. Notepad++ distinguishes its development environment for its simplicity. Notepad++ is super lightweight; there’s
even a mobile version if you fancy it. 



3.SUBLIME TEXT:-  Sublime is another excellent free HTML editor. Developed by a Sydney-based company, this software falls under the category of freemium. Freemium means that you can use Sublime for free, but you have to buy a license to enjoy the full features. Sublime offers great support to ensure that the program is constantly updated. Users can add plugins made by the community or build their own. We think using the free version of Sublime is more than adequate. However, if you feel like you need more features, you can get the license at a later point.


4. VISUAL STUDIO CODE:-  This multi-code free HTML editing tool comes ready to go with a large range of customizable features. It prides itself on its smart autocomplete and other intelligent syntax responses. Visual Studio Code is a multi-language and multi-platform program. Its development environment works hand in hand with HTML, Python and other popular programming languages. It is also compatible with Microsoft Azure which makes for easy deployment and numerous extensions.
