Chrome developer tools can search for elements inside HTML. Is there a way to replace all occurrences of HTML code which is matched by some custom expression (similar to standard text editors' Replace All function)?
UPDATE:
Snippets come very handy handling text replacement:
You can create a script to find/replace and run it in the console tab.
For a manual HTML change, you can right click on any element and pick Edit as HTML.

I currently use ATOM as my text editor for HTML files and etc. My headers, nav bar, and footer are usually all the same. Is there a way or package that I can install that will allow me to have this autocomplete as a shortcut for any HTML file that I am working on?
Example:
I open an atom file
Save as HTML
Type in a button or do something
Page will have all my custom made HTML code
That way I don't have to re-entering it or etc.
To do this in Atom, you're probably looking for the snippets feature. This lets you auto-insert arbitrary content as you need, and you can specify your own snippets - like your standard header, footer etc. You can even create shortcuts so your snippets are automatically expanded.
Once you've found the snippets feature, do let us know if you have any problems getting it to do exactly what you need. Most text editors will have something similar - it's a common use case.
Currently trying to write some HTML for something. VS Code did an update yesterday and now the auto-formatter (Alt+Shift+F) is a different set of options and is overriding everything.
How do I access that specifical file to modify it. I currently have "Prettier" installed but it does not handle HTML
Right-click in your text editing area and choose Format Document With.... A popup will appear on top then choose Choose default formatter and then choose Prettier
You can trigger suggestions at any time by pressing Ctrl+Space.
To improve the formatting of your HTML source code, you can use the
Format Document command Ctrl+Shift+I to format the entire file or
Format Selection Ctrl+K Ctrl+F to just format the selected text.

I am trying to find a way to replace certain text on the webpage without the use of chrome extensions.
For example, I want the text 'dogs' to replace with 'doggos' each time the web page detects the word dogs. Is it possible to do this without the use of Chrome Extensions? How can I write such a script and can this run in the backgroun?
Thanks all!
Use Chrome Dev Tools
If you want to use chrome, but not a chrome extension, you want to use the console in the Chrome Dev Tools. Running a script for a website on the Chrome Console is a solution to your question, and is shown below, but it will disappear when you refresh the page.
Replacing String Literals in the Body
To replace all instances of dogs with doggos in the HTML body, you would walk the document tree as documented by this SO question.
Applied to your question, the result is below:

You may also want to check out javascript with Regular Expressions, which are more powerful than a simple string replace. If you want this running in the background, you should look at Mutation Observers to check whether the DOM has changed.
I am working in Chrome developer tools and looking for a way to show HTML entities by default.
The view I see is this:
Whereas, the view I need is this:
Does anybody know how I can enable the view I need?
I know there is a theme engine for Chrome but is there an existing feature that fits my needs?
Thanks guys ;)
I had this same question and discovered that with chrome, right-click > View Source code, shows the pure un-decoded(un-evaluated) html entities while the right-click > inspect option seems to evaluate them... may help someone:)
In Google Chrome the correct way to see the actual source of the document that is currently loaded is to click the Sources tab and choose the file from the tree on the left. If you have a unique string on the line that you're searching for, you can press Ctrl-Shift-F to search all files for that string.
RightClick -> View Source is incorrect because it reloads the document, which may cause unexpected behaviour.
Inspect Element is incorrect because it displays the current DOM, not the HTML source.
You can't: The DOM Inspector shows a view of the DOM, not the source code.
The HTML has already been parsed and the entities converted to characters in text nodes.
The Inspector shows an HTML-like view because it is easy to understand. It doesn't reflect the original source code.
Browsers have an explicit "View Source" feature if you want to see the source code.
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
