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://ckeditor.com/

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.

Looking for an HTML IDE where clicking on an element in the live preview highlights the code

I'm looking for an HTML IDE (preferably free) or extension for Visual Studio Code that:
a)has a live preview feature
and
b) clicking or right-clicking an element in the live preview highlights the corresponding code.
This seems to be a bit elusive, which doesn't make a lot of sense to me considering how useful this is.
I'm currently using Visual Studio Code with the Live Preview extension, but it doesn't allow doing anything with the preview.
1, Adobe Dreamweaver, just use Split Mode.
You code yourself, just use the Editor part as a Live Preview so you won't mess-up with redundant and ugly codes.
You click on the code, and the live preview corresponding element will be highlighted, you click on the live preview, the text cursor will jump to the code.
2, Brackets
It just works exactly like what you want, but unfortunately, it is discontinued by Adobe.
3, Five servers (VSC Extension)
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=yandeu.five-server
It is only one-way-highlight. You can't jump to code by clicking on Live Preview.
I haven't found any VSC extension working the way you want.

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

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).

Visual Studio 2015 html and css live preview

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.

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.

Web visual editor
