if i use notepad for html do i just save it as a .html and then when i open it it makes a webpage? and then how do i edit it after if i need?

Answer 1

change the file extension from .html to .txt and edit.
Again change it to. html and run.

I wonder how answers given by other ppl in this group are relevant to this question.

Answer 2

just right click on notepad and select edit option

Answer 3

People telling you to save with .html extension then whenever you need to edit the file, change the extension back to .txt either don't own a computer - no offence - or they don't know how to use one.
All text editors offer a save-as feature. FIRST, choose a type of document in which you want to save your file in, then give it a name and an extension. This is because one type of document can have different extensions. HTML documents can have .htm or .html. There are others too.
For EDITING, either right-click a file then 'Edit with..", or 'Open with..' from the menu.. Choose your default editor. (Notepad, Notepad++, Sublime Text, Atom, Brackets..) whatever editor you have installed..
You can also drag the HTML file and drop it into your editor. No need to change extension back and forth :)

Answer 4

Saber is right, you can change the extention. A couple ways to do it.

Open the Notepad file, save as and type in .html as the extention. Make sure your dropdown has no file extention selected by default.

I also suggest using Notepad++. Use regular Notepad as a scrubber of content that you copy from other sources. Use ++ to code in.

If you need a free or open source app to code in that is better than Notepad. Use "Brackets" or "Sublime".

Answer 5

FYI, Dreamweaver is an application that you have to pay to use which is why I made the free suggestions below.

Brackets is an open Adobe project that's getting a lot of traction and you can code pretty much anything in it.

Sublime is another application that's been around even longer that is also a great free alternative to Dreamweaver.

I've been in development for 8+ years and have use everything from Dreamweaver to Visual Studio and the free ones I mentioned are good for beginners or pro users.

Answer 6

you can't edit it but you can edit it if you change his name as a .txt

Answer 7

I highly recommend notepad++. Change the extension to .HTML, edit it using np++ and see the result in a web browser.
