Looking for a free HTML editor that works offline too.

Question

I started with notepad, I have been studying for more than a month now and feel like I know HTML pretty well, so I decided to do a gift to myself and download an HTML editor, since the notepad can get ptetty frustrating when lot of coding is written in it, what do you recommend?

Answer 1

There are quite a bunch
1. Microsoft Visual Studio Code(my fav)
2. Adobe Brackets
3. Notepad++
4. Atom Editor
5. Sublime Text 3

Answer 2

Sublime text is cool, but i suggest that when you are done with HTML use Visual Studio Code, it will help you code faster.

Answer 3

Ore Microsoft VSC sounds nice, I watched a tutorial and thats what I'm gonna pick I believe, I can't find out how well it works when offline tho, does it work fine? Does it have limitations? And if yes, what can I still do with it while offline?

It works well offline. You only need internet to download extensions, view github feed or update your app. Most of your common coding tasks can be done offline.

Answer 5

Ore I have two questions about VSC, I use <span> a lot to mark words, is there any key that I can maybe press after I have wrote everything I want inside span so I continue writing outside span? Holding the right arow takes some time, also, if I want to use span on an already written word is there any key I can press to remove the closing tag which gets autimatically filled after I write span?

First question: Yes. Use Ctrl + right arrow

Second question: I don't think so. Best bet is to cut the word(ctrl+x) and paste after creating the span.
