HTML Editors

Write HTML Using Notepad or TextEdit

HTML can be edited by using professional HTML editors like:
  1. Microsoft WebMatrix
  2. Sublime Text
However, for learning HTML we recommend a text editor like Notepad (PC) or TextEdit (Mac).
We believe using a simple text editor is a good way to learn HTML.

Step- 1: Open Notepad

Open the Notepad in Windows 7 or earlier:
Click to Start (bottom left on your screen). Click All Programs. Click Accessories. Click Notepad.
To open Notepad in Windows 8 or later:

Step- 2: Write Some HTML

Write or copy some HTML into Notepad.
<!DOCTYPE html>

</html>

Step- 3: Save the HTML Page

Save the file on your computer.
