The other day I decided I was done editing my HTML and other code documents in Notepad. While searching for a better alternative I came accross PSPad, a free, multi-purpose code editor. PSPad’s code syntax highlighter works with many different languages and markups, including HTML, PHP, CSS, javascript, and others.
PSPad has many features, but I’ll describe some of my favorite. The syntax highlighting is excellent and makes editing those long codes much easier. PSPad also has the option of condensing your code to save a few kb on your server or to expand code to make it more readable. This feature made me realize how sloppy my code writing was! Web developers will also appreciate the “Lorem Ipsum” generator. The built in HTML validator is ok but doesn’t catch some errors that W3C’s online validator does.
PSPad is free yet fully featured. If you’re looking for a great progam to save you some time next time your write some code, check out PSPad.
I must agree with you. I acquainted with this program 2 yeas ago. I use it to edit some code of my QBASIC programs and also it’s great for editing files on the server through http://FTP.
@FireON Thanks for stopping by! After using this program, I can’t believe I ever used Notepad. This has been a great timesaver.
Thank you! I’m in the proces of setting up my website right now, so this was very useful to me. I will try this program. I like the option of condensing and expanding the code to serve your purposes better. Thanks!
PSPad is quite good,
but I think Notepad++ and jEdit are even better, in every aspect !
(and both of them are open source software, too)
