Best HTML editor?

[Ghazan Haider]

I'm looking for a good html editor. Not WYSIWYG, not something that
drops in tonnes of ;nbsp; everywhere, not something that makes it look
exactly like a word document, but something that uses the bare minimum
html commands unless instructed otherwise, and can seamlessly do
tables, forms, css, php scripts, various html4.01 attributes, meta
attributes and other COMPLIANT changes in an ergonomic way.

I love making w3-compliant pages, anything simplistic, but the needs
have grown and typing the tags are becoming a PITA. I'm tempted to do
frontpage but I've edited frontpage pages and I dont want to do that.

I have heard good things about Nvu. See
<URL:http://www.nvu.com/>. However, I have not used it and thus
cannot recommend it.

You might find typing HTML manually to be a bother, but HTML just
seems to flow out of my fingers, through my keyboard, and into
Wordpad.

I just started using this. It's early days, but I think it's very good.
Lack of templates is a bother for beginners, though.

For serious development I still suspect most people use plaintext editors.
Emacs with psgml, xxml, tdtd, and onsglms takes a lot of beating.

A good editor, exactly knowing about the DTD selected?
And exactly offering those and only those elements / attributes that are
allowed at the cursor's position?
Where you just type "<" and you get kinda context menu from which you
select the desired element / attribute / attribute value?

Have a look at the screenshot ...
<http://home.arcor.de/plsdontreply/kate.png>

This is Kate[1] with the "XML Completion" plugin. Full utf-8 support and
directly editing on your server through ftp.

There is no such thing as "best" everyone has there own preference.
Stop asking "What is the best [Insert Item Here]" and go out a try
things if you like it use if not move on and try another one.

I really like EditPlus for both html and css. It color codes as you
type. Many errors are instantly shown by a wrong color.
I don't find the auto tag entry useful but it works well and one could
learn to use it.

I have CuteHTML and it seems like a decent HTML editor.
