Visual Studio is so powerful and convenient as HTML,CSS and JS editor.
After typing div,it automatically types /div for me.Espresso can do this as well, but it just doesn't types the TAP or space*4 automatically,that's awful!
So, is there any web editor on Mac as powerful as Visual Stdio.Thanks!
By the way, vs2013 Pro is free for students.
There are many good editors for HTML, CSS and JS for Mac like Espresso, Coda 2, TextMate.
But I personally prefer Sublime Text + Emmet combination.
Emmet Documentation
Check this link also for some of the features of Emmet.
Why don't you take a look at Sublime Text, TextMate or Coda 2?
You may find TypeMetal productive for HTML content authoring. It makes the easy stuff easy, while providing unrestricted access to HTML's full element set. TypeMetal produces streamlined, professional-grade markup, while enabling you to work with fully styled content in a keyboard-shortcut-rich environment. You can find links to a free demo build and the complete online user guide here. (I designed and developed TypeMetal to be the "missing HTML editor" I've long wished for -- hope you'll enjoy it too!)
You can try learning and customizing vim ( = !
Is there any good html & css editors in a web application? And I don't mean those like dreamweaver and eclipse. I mean like those editors stackoverflow uses when asking a question. I tried find for html editor online, but most of the editors don't support css. Does anyone know any good ones? Preferably to be used for Ruby-on-Rails! :)
I only use it in one place, but CKeditor has been pretty good. It integrates well with RailsAdmin, which is what I use it for. Look for the ckeditor gem.
You can use https://github.com/Nerian/bootstrap-wysihtml5-rails
I truly love TinyMCE. It's the editor that ships with WordPress, but it can be installed by itself. It is highly configurable, supports css, and is quite powerful.
There are two versions, a javascript version and a jquery version, so it can be installed with any server technology, but there is also a TinyMCE gem for rails.
I blog on Wordpress, is there any tool to upload the Objective C code in a formatted manner to my blog. I googled to find more on this..but was not of much help.
Check out Wordpress for iOS. The Wordpress app is open source, so you can rummage through the code.
Are you asking about formatting the code in blog posts? If so you can use a syntex highlihging library like syntaxhighlighter.
Edit: There is also a wordpress plugin that will do syntex highligting: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-syntax/
There are several syntax highlighter plugins for Wordpress, but not all of them support Objective-C. I just found one that does: The name is "Auto SyntaxHighlighter".
The website of the plugin doesn't mention Objective-C, but the plugin does.
When you write your article in the visual editor in Wordpress, there will be an icon for adding source code. There you can choose the language (e. g. "Objective-C").
In the visual editor, you cannot see all the nice bells and whistles of the added source code, but if you click "preview", you will see the nice syntax highlighting, etc.
it's a very easy question maybe, but i can't find any "working" plug in for WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) HTML editing ,you know like dream weaver
i'm developing a web site which is a mix of php and python, coding is comfortable but designing is very hard with out such a plug in
thnx :)
Havn't tried it, but MyEclipse has an visual HTML designer. Maybe it's sufficient for your needs?

I don't like WYIWYG editors, I want to be responsible for the selection and placement of each tag and attribute! Is there a good editor out there that allows you complete control over the HTML but offers useful features such as:
syntax highlighting (of course)
suggestions of tags, attributes etc. e.g. as dropdown lists
validation and accessibility checking
previewing the HTML
Currently I use TextPad with syntax highlighting, but feel I could do better.
I'm a big fan of Aptana for generic HTML/CSS/Javascript editing. Based on Eclipse, but nicer usability. Automatic formatting, code suggestion (with native support for jQuery & ExtJs) and embedded browser tabs for checking your work.
It's also cross-platform, supports Windows Mac & Linux.
I like Notepad++; it doesn't have embedded preview, but it's lightweight, has a good UI, syntax-highlights reliably...
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 might suit your needs (and there's a free download "express" version).
Others have mentioned Visual Studio and HTML Kit. You might also consider DreamWeaver or Microsoft Expression Web. Technically, both of these (and even Visual Studio) have WYSIWYG modes, but they also offer split source/WYSIWYG and total source-only modes. All have validation, standards checking and the whole nine. All allow complete control over code with no fuss nor muss, if that's what you want. Expression and DreamWeaver support syntax highlighting for more than just HTML/ASP; both also support PHP natively.
Here's a link to Visual Web Developer Express (the free Visual Studio Brian mentioned).
I really like Coda on the Mac http://www.panic.com/coda/.
HTMLKit is reasonably decent and free.
I really like Microsoft Expression Web 2.0 or Microsoft SharePoint Designer 2007, depending on my needs.
Specifically, Microsoft Expression Web 2.0 supports development of the basics (HTML, CSS, etc.) while including Intellisense for ASP.NET and PHP.
Microsoft SharePoint Designer 2007 includes support for SharePoint Services and MOSS.
I've heard people say that they like Dreamweaver, but it's a little on the bloated side for my taste. Both the tools I mentioned above allow for WYSIWYG editing, but they support all the features you listed as well. They also allow for doctype support and validation for accessibility, etc.
I recommend Programmer's Notepad for lightweight code editing, but then I'm biased :)
To be fair, these are all also good for the same:
Notepad++,
SciTE,
Notepad2.
None of these (including PN) do the big extras you're asking for with previews and the like, however. For those features you need something more full featured like the already recommended and excellent Expression Web or perhaps even Visual Web Developer.
I should point out also that there are loads of editor discussions on SO already:
https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=html+editor
I still use an old version (4.0) of Homesite and it does just about all I want and need. It was originally written by Nick Bradbury and was not too heavy, had just the right set of features, and was very popular.
Nick sold Homesite to Allaire and then it was eaten by bigger and bigger fish. But it is still maintained and now being sold alongside Dreamweaver as a text-based HTML alternative by Macromedia (and now Adobe).
They charge $99 USD for it.
I would have upgraded, but they only have upgrade pricing for version 4.5 and after. Sorry for the following emotional comment, but I say Software vendors should not ignore early adopters of their programs. People who were first in line deserve special and lifetime treatment. They will become your best customers and best spokesmen for your software, if you let them.
I realize you're on Windows (from the tools you describe) but, for the next Mac guy to read this question:
TextMate seriously does-not-suck for editing all sorts of things, especially collections of things (like projects of C, ruby, java, html, perl, bash, etc.) If it had SubEthaEdit's ability to do cooperative editing, it'd be the only editor I ever use.
TextMate
Depending on what code you will be using (ASP v. php v. ruby, etc), I would suggest Dreamweaver. It is WYSIWYG, but many of the best editors you would find are, including VS 2008. Of course, that doesn't mean you have to use it! I used Dreamweaver quite often at my last job and it was great for editing code and quickly previewing.
Edit: I should mention that Dreamweaver would be best for html, css, javascript, coldfusion, and php. Those are the technologies I have used it with.
I really like Kate, and since it's a KPart, other KDE programs use it as the editor, so it's goodness everywhere!
(why is everybody else assuming you use windows?)
You might want to look into Bluefish - it's what I use for php at home. It has nice support for syntax highlighting for many languages and quite a bit of other goodies HTML-wise.
I use Eclipse here at work, for J2EE stuff. It comes with some great tools and syntax highlighting for html/css/etc.
