List of HTML editors

The following is a list of HTML editors with articles in Wikipedia.

Text editors

Plain text editors are commonly used to produce webpages. Unlike word processors, the software does not insert text formatting elements that may interfere with the parsing of programming languages.

Text-based HTML editors

Text-based HTML editors evolved from basic text editors, but include additional tools specifically geared toward handling code.

While word processors are not ostensibly HTML editors, many of the major products are capable of exporting document layouts in HTML format. This offers the ease of use of a word processor, similar to a WYSIWYG product (see below), but has some of the same end product limitations.

WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) code generators offer speed and ease of use. Many do not require any knowledge of the programming languages generated by the software. Pages are produced in a proprietary format and then exported as finished code; the exported pages cannot usually be imported for further editing, but new pages can be exported from the original proprietary file after it has been edited. Exported files tend to be larger than hand-coded pages (those produced with a text-based HTML editor or a plain text editor). WYSIWYG generators tend to be better than word processors at producing highly graphical and interactive pages.
