HTML Editors


Write HTML Using Notepad or TextEdit

Web pages can be created and modified by using professional HTML editors.

However, for learning HTML we recommend a simple text editor like Notepad(PC) or Text Edit(Mac).

We believe using a simple text editor is a good way to learn HTML.

Follow the four(4) steps below to create your first web page with Notepad or TextEdit.


Step 1 : Open Notepad (PC)

  • Windows 8 or later :

    • Open the Start Screen(the window symbol at the bottom left on your screen).
    Type Notepad.

  • Windows 7 or earlier :

    • Open Start>Programs>Accessories>Notepad

Step 1 : Open TextEdit (Mac)

Open Finder>Applications>TextEdit

Also change some preferences to get the application to save files correctly.
In Preferences>Format> choose Plain Text.

Then under "Open and Save", check the box that says ignore rich text commands in HTML files.

Then open a new window to place the code.

Step 2 : Write Some HTML

Write or copy some HTML into Notepad :

  

    

  • 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
   <title>Page Title</title>
</head>
<body>


<h1>My First Heading</h1>

<p>My first paragraph.</p>


</body>
</html>

    •


Notepad++ (PC)


Step 3 : Save the HTML Page

Save the file on your computer.
Select File>Save as in the Notepad menu.

Name the file "index.htm".
And set the encoding to UTF-8 (which is the preferred encoding for HTML files).

Save as window

You can use either .htm or .html as file extension.
There is no difference, it is up to you.


Step 4 : View the HTML Page in your Browser

Open the saved HTML file in your favorite browser(double click on the file, or right-click and choose Open with).

The result will look much like this :
