I use Aptana. Its really easy to use and you can download it for free.

I started off using EditPlus. Colour-coded mark-up, simplistic to read

Still use it. Oh, it has a list of codes you can use (located on the left. This can be resized to whole page focuses on the webpage).

EditPlus - text editor and HTML editor for Windows

Whats Edit+ Like to use? Would anyone else recommending something like this for a novice or just stick with NOTEPAD++

It's THE easiet HTML editor i've used. The main mark-up is already there, with some meta tags, it is displayed like this when you open a HTML page up:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> New Document </TITLE>
<META NAME="Generator" CONTENT="EditPlus">
<META NAME="Author" CONTENT="">
<META NAME="Keywords" CONTENT="">
<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
</BODY>
</HTML>

You can also open the following types of documents:

Default, Text, HTML, C/C++, Perl, PHP, Java, JSP, JavaScript, VBScript, CSS, XML, C# & .NET config.

Some tags are at the top of the program, such as anchor tags, B, I & U, IMG tags, etc...

I personally reccommend this program to any beginner of web design. It's free to download, plus you can update the cliptext (cliptext contains pre-set mark-up, CSS & JavaScript, as well as ANSII).

What do you mean by update cliptext?

**A800** · 30 Apr 2009 @ 18.46

Sorry, i'll explain it better this time:

The cliptext (meaning you can add pre-written code onto the page) comes with HTML 3.2 and 4.0, CSS2 & CSS3. On the Editplus website, there's a page where you can download more of those cliptext options.

The image below will show you what I mean by cliptext.
