I am very new to this. I just bought one of those "html for dummies" books. It states "in preferences expand the APTANA link and select html editor." I'm on a MAC and running Aptana Studio 3. Under that tab, there is no html editor option, just browsers terminal and theme.
Not sure what tab you're talking about, but if you tgo to Window->Preferences you're presented with the preferences dialog, which should have an expandable tree list of pages in the left pane and the actual preferences in the content pane on the right.
If you expand the Aptana Studio item in the list pane, it contains the subpages:
Content Assist
Editors
Find Bar
Formatter
JavaScript Debug
Remote
Spelling
Tasks
Terminal
Themes
Troubleshooting
Validation
Webservers
And if you expand the Editors, you'll see a bunch of different languages, including HTML.

I use Eclipse 2022-12 with Windows 10 for a Spring Boot project with Maven.
The context menu (the popup box that automatically shows up when you type or press Strg+Space) for autocompletion (java template proposals / content assist) in the editor shows up perfectly fine in Java files (strg + space works too).
I have HTML files that open with the HTML-editor in Eclipse, and the syntax highlighting is fine. But the context menu for code suggestions (auto completion suggestion or html template proposals) simply does not show up, not even with strg+space.
How can I enable the popup for the auto suggestions in HTML files again?
For clarification: It does not show the context menu box at all. Other users had problems where there were no suggestions (template proposals) inside the context menu, but for me the popup does not show up at all for HTML files, but for Java files it works completely fine.
I already tried to change the settings for the html editor under Window > Preferences > Web > HTML Files > Editor > Content Assist. Settings:
"Automatically make suggestions" - activated
"Auto activation delay" - 0
"Prompt when these characters are inserted" - "=<"
The categories for HTML Tag proposals and all the other elements are all activated in booth "Default Proposal Categories" and "Content Assist Pages".
I also de- and reinstalled Eclipse Web Developer Tools and HTML Editor in the Marketplace.
I also opened a new dynamic web project without Maven or Spring Boot, here the HTML editor also does not show the content assist context menu.
I also created a new Workspace, same result.
Edit
I found a workaround...but this does not answer my question, because I think it is not correct that Eclipse does not show me the popup-box inside the HTML-Editor.
Eclipse automaticaly activated the HTML-Editor for HTML-Files, which does not have the popup-box. I activated the Generic Text Editor, which actually shows me the popup-box with HTML-suggestions. I would be happy if someone has a hint why the HTML-Editor is broken in Eclipse 2022-12.
Go to settings
Window
⮑ Preferences
⮑ HTML Files
⮑ Editor
⮑ Content Assist
Then replace <= with;
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ._<=
Is HTML and CSS live preview available in Visual Studio 2015? if so, how to activate it?
if not is there any plugin for Visual Studio 2015 to use this feature?
I found a plugin in the Visual Studio Marketplace. The name of the plugin is Live HTML Previewer. Here is the link
I'm not sure if there is an out-of-the-box feature in Visual Studio to do this (I don't do much web development), but a quick Google search returned these extensions that might help you:
Live HTML Previewer
HTML Preview
Web Essentials - This one I've actually seen before, and know to be quite powerful
You could right-click on your project name and check if it offers an option for 'Page Inspector'.
If it does and you select it, it will open a panel on visual studio that shows your app as it would show in a browser with the html below in a separate section of the panel as well as a separate section for the style, etc.
Similar to what you see when you open developer tools on a browser, but with a preview included.
While you can't change the code in the panel's html section, you can make changes to your actual project files and update the preview by clicking the yellow notification bar indicating that the files have changed.
You can even expand or reduce the preview panel, and if you app is responsive, it will be responsive in the panel as well.
I am running Aptana as plugin in Eclipse Neon. The HTML file was created using the template at: "New From Template => HTML => HTML 4.0.1 Strict Template (*.html)".
When I click on the file in the Project Explorer a tab opens, but the file name is not it its title, and I do not see the HTML source. Here is a screen shot that includes this tab that opened a blank title:
Tab opens without title when file clicked on.
In "Window => Preferences => General => Editors => File Associations" I have an editor named "HTML Editor (default) (locked by 'HTML' content type)" selected (appears at the top of the list). Is this the Aptana editor? Is it the correct editor?
What has gone wrong here?
I'm also on eclipse neon, and also use the Aptana plugin, and the code editors from Aptana simply do not work with neon, so, in terms of the usefulness of Aptana with neon, YMMV.
Currently, I still use Aptana's Web perspective and App Explorer view, as I find those useful. I also use my custom theme with non-studio editors, however, for most Aptana editors, I've moved to the LiClipseText Eclipse plugin, and I can't recommend it enough. It's much more light weight, and tends to work well with a minimum of fuss.
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.
When I was typing codes in Aptana 3's editor, Code Assist pop up must show the browser compatibility check like this.

(I can't upload pic. Cos I'm just new to Stack Overflow. Sorry for your inconvenience!!!)
But in my case it didn't show any browser icons and just said element names and HTML Core. That's it. I want to check that browser compatibility and wanna see these browser icons as well. So what should i do??????
You should choose "Web" as primary project nature in your project settings.
You need to configure your Aptana installation.
Go on Windows menu -> Preferences
Aptana Studio -> Content Assist
And then check the browser you need have informations for.
