815 CreaText is a HTML editor which will help you creating web pages. The user interface is easy to understand and offers many functions

CreaText has got many functions which make creating websites easier, e.g. Tag Coloring, easy access to the Mac browsers, the change of special characters into HTML entities in realtime, an Insert menu with rapid access to all usual HTML commands, an HTML color chooser, drag & drop, and the possibility to setup HTML parameters when creating a new document.

CreaText is built like a typical Mac application so you will quickly explore CreaText's dimensions. Most menus commands have shortcuts for immediate access. The documentation is not complete but explains many of CreaText's handy features.

There is also a tutorial written by Fred Taylor which explains a lot of CreaText's dialogs and and offers a lot of useful informations, you can find it here:

And last but not least: CreaText is free! It is even so free that the source code is available and everybody can help to work on CreaText.

And what about WYSIWYG?

Many commercial web design applications offer you WYSIWYG, which is short for "What you see is what you get". In fact, these applications can only show you a preview of what the webpage will look alike. Every web browser interprets pages in its own way. So the main purpose is not seeing immediate results but creating web pages like a DTP application. But most applications (and even the most expensive ones) fail at basic editing. They don't offer any comfortable features for inserting the custom code you want.

This is where CreaText comes into play. Create your layouts with a WYSIWYG application and edit and optimize the pages with CreaText.
