Is there a way to get Aptana to recognize <main>? - html

I am learning web design with Aptana and I have ran into a weird problem. The HTML editor does not recognize main element. Therefore, my .css file cannot select main element to style it. I have checked under windows --> preferences --> general --> editors and have made sure the HTML editor is default and selected. The only others are two text editors and web browser. Any fixes to this? Is it possible to download a better editor and install into Aptana? It has an add button.

I suppose that this element is not recognized because it is relatively new: at this time, it is not yet supported by the HTML Editor in Eclipse Web Tools for Neon.3, as you can see on this bug report for example).

Is there a shortcut to insert a basic html editor page in Visual Studio Code?

I have recently installed visual studio code and started some projects on it. The thing is when I was using sublime text I didn't need to type out the Doctype HTML html etc.. attributes when I needed a new html page. I just had to type html and press the tab key and the basic editor page would be inserted for me. So my question is, is there a way to do this in Visual Studio Code ?
You can install emmet extension from the vs code marketplace inside of vs code interface and it works perfectly the same as you used to do in sublime.

how to drag and drop css file in eclipse?

I'm new to elipse php. i have used dream viewer for my php development before moving to the eclipse. So, i need to know when i drag and drop the css file into html editor, it needs to auto genarate the <link> tag for that css file. It worked with dream viewer. But its not working with eclipse. And, also when i need to use css classes inside html tag it needs to type the css class name.But, instead that i need to know how to config that to all the css class as suggestion for html tags, like in dream viewer and netBeans.
The text DnD (Drag and Drop) feature (initially introduced by bug 11624 in 2007) has been slowly extended to various editors, as reported by the bug 231294:
Tested in EclipsePdt-2.2.0.v20100427
Verified fixed for:
PHP files
JS files
Still reproducible in:
CSS files
HTML files
XML files (source view)
So it is still "work in progress".
The relevant blocking issues are:
bug 178104: [DND] Need to revisit dnd API to allow multiple drop targets
bug 173405: Make use of IDragAndDropService (Show Votes)
bug 195655: Drag'n'drop selected text
First of all Eclipse is not an IDE, it's a platform you can build IDEs (or any other application). There are several implementations for different languages. Most popular one which is actually the origin of Eclipse is Java IDE. There is also a plugin/feature for PHP development, called PDT.
DreamViewer is a specialized WYSIWYG editor for web development (mostly around HTML/CSS/Javascript) that includes support for different web scripting languages. It has some special properties as you mentioned, that can create a link element when you DnD.
What you can do is request a new feature from PDT team, that creates a link element to the dropped file inside a HTML document.

Razor pages (cshtml) render HTML markup without the classic colors

I'm working on a web project in Visual Studio 2013 and I'm not able to see the classic colors for HTML tags (Maroon, Blue and Red). Instead all the HTML is black, except the Razor blocks, they show ok.
When I go to the Fonts options the colors are configured correctly but the editor seems to not consider the configuration values.
Any help would be appreciated.
Do you mean that the source code doesn't have syntax highlighting within the Visual Studio editor, outside of the Razor blocks?
It's possible that your default editor for cshtml files got switched to the wrong one somehow. Try right-clicking one of the cshtml files in question, doing an "Open With...", and choosing "HTML Editor".
If that doesn't work, try disabling any extensions you have installed that touch the HTML editor (e.g. Web Essentials, Productivity Power Tools, Indent Guides, etc).
If that doesn't work, I'd try resetting your settings from Tools > Import and Export Settings... > Reset all settings. You can back your settings up first, so you can restore them afterward if resetting them doesn't help.
Finally, if none of that works, I would try running a repair on Visual Studio from the installer. I've seen that fix strange issues like this before.

Eclipse and .tml files highlighting not working

I'm using eclipse Juno EE IDE for Web Developers.
When I open .tml files, they don't show the correct highlighting and auto complete isn't working. I thought this looked just like it's opening it in a text editor. I right clicked the .tml file and clicked open with > HTML editor and I still don't get the correct highlighting.
This works perfectly on my PC at home, I am at work and it doesn't work properly. Please can someone give me a quick heads up on what setting is wrong? I've spent ages looking and trying different editors, but i'm sure it should just work in the html editor.
Thanks,
Edit: When I hover over the underlined closing html tag, it says "The word is not spelt correctly". It's like it's a text editor, only I did right click > open with html editor.
(If not using Tapestry Tools, as uklance mentioned)
Remember that in addition to editing Eclipse's File Association configuration in:
Window->Preferences->General->Editors->File Associations
you should add the *.tml extension in the Content Types configuration in:
Window->Preferences->General->Content Types
there you should chose html or xml and click add to add *.tml
Have you seen the Tapestry Tools eclipse plugin?
Or you can just add a file association for *.tml to the XML or HTML editors.
Another alternative is using the JSP editor and a custom tld

Download NetBeans for PHP, open an HTML file and you will see
I don't believe this feature is in Netbeans as of 6.7 I'm afraid. There is CSS preview, but I assume that falls short of the full preview you require. You can preview it directly in the browser by selecting "view" in the context menu, but that again is nowhere near the full preview which you require.
Searching plugins.netbeans.org also proves fruitless.
"Web Preview" and "Embedded Browser UI - XUL Runner" solution is only working at Windows systems. My solution is using an external HTML WYSIWYG Editor for Mac OS X. There are some nice free/open source HTML interface builders:
http://www.kompozer.net/
http://ckeditor.com/
http://www.w3.org/Amaya/
Alternatively you can use HTML palette + Netbeans HTML Source editor. Click Window + Palette. At the right hand side palette will be opened which contains basic HTML elements. You can drag & drop elements to your source code as visual designers but it only creates code. This function can also help you for some basic tasks.
