Just thought I would ask what Editor software you guys use.
I use Edit Plus http://www.editplus.com/ which has been very good, I like the colour of the syntax which highlights problems, and I like how you can tweak your template so that when you load say a new HTML document it already has most of the syntax you may want.
but I feel it is not doing what I would like it to do and that is, if I open up any tag I want it to close it e.g. <p> </p>
what editor do you guys use and why do you like them?
links to any free software appreciated so I can try
As of reciently I've been using WordPad, HTMLkit, Dreamweaver CS4 Beta. When I get my iMac at the end of the month hopefully I will be buying Coda (after I try it out of course I've heard alot of good things about it but never tried it out).
I'm going to be trying out NotePad++ from source forge
I really wish I could read your posts dude, but I cant
using google translate it gave me this:

edit: I assumed it was japanese, but here is what I got from chinese:
4. Web site to promote information dissemination methods The site will promote the release of information on other potential users may visit the Web site, users use these sites to obtain information Web site to promote the realization of the purpose for such information, including online yellow pages sites, classified ads, forums, blog sites Supply and demand information platform, the industry Web site, and so on. Information is the promotion of the free Web site commonly used methods.
5. Web site to promote faster method That is, rational use of Internet real-name, generic Web site, as well as other similar words fast access to Web sites to promote the achievement. Web site fast to use natural language and its corresponding Web site URL to establish relations, which are used for the use of Chinese users, providing a great convenience, the user can input more than the English site to the fast and easy to remember URL will be able to visit the Web site, To use their mother tongue or other simple words for the site "to replace" a better memory, easier to reflect the brand's Web site, such as the choice of business name or trademarks, product names, and so on as a major Chinese Web site, which can greatly make up for the English site is not easy Promotion of defects, as in the promotion Web site has some value. With the corporate Web site registered fast increase in the number of these fast Web site users also can be the equivalent of a search engine, so that when users use a search keywords, even if registered with the site of a Chinese Web site is not uniform, the existence of the same users Found.
again still makes no sense to what I originally posted about
when you say code collapse? you mean a small + or - so that it can hide code??
actually what I was really meaning was if I write <p> I want the program to automatically add the </p> for me. Edit Plus has the code collapse built in and it is a cool wee feature, and it can be set to close tags for me: e.g. if I type in in black the program finishes in red... <a href="somewhere.net" class="something">a link</a>
but I want it to do this for me instead: <a href="somewhere.net" class="something">a link</a>
apart from this small feature Edit Plus is a great piece of software, I have amended my templates and I now have: HTML-Strict HTML-Trans XHTML-Strict XHTML-Trans PHP-Template CSS-Template
all of these template files have unique code & comments at the start, so i don't have to add in all the doctypes, meta, robot stuff, I can change what I want and it is all there, the only things that are not included is the decleration of keywords, descriptions and URLs to specific things as they are the bits that are unique to the site I am then designing.
@ScottMacD I am using the 5.0.3 version and the code collapse is on by default but make sure that you have any language selected from the Languages menu that is other than Normal.
@ikthius Well Notepad++ does not offer auto tag completion but it does offer some amount of word completion when your language is selected to something like PHP, JavaScript or CSS. But the other two tools that I mentioned do offer the best code editing functionality I have seen and Visual Web Developer Express Edition is free as well.

Thanks anyway
