HTMLPad

HTMLPad is a sturdy piece of software designed to help you tackle coding in HTML, CSS and JavaScript within a user-friendly environment.

The application is made to be intuitive and you get proof of this as soon as you run it for the first time. It asks you to select a file type that you use most frequently, so it can open it for you whenever you create a new project. HTMLPad allows you to choose between the three previously mentioned along with ASP, PL, JS, VBS, XML and WML.

Depending on your experience level with coding and the workflow that you get used to over the years, HTMLPad offers you the chance to choose between various types of layouts such as ‘All But Kitchen Sink’, ‘File Explorer Only’, ‘Full IDE’, ‘Normal’ and ‘Notepad’ but you can very well create and save custom ones.

The interface itself is kept simple and efficient as all code editing applications should be. You get an editing area and a preview one with both horizontal and vertical splits. As expected, it offers search functions, insertion capabilities, formatting options, as well as HTML, CSS and JavaSCript specific tools and functions.

Though seemingly small in stature, HTMLPad offers a large number of features. You are provided with syntax and line highlighting, an advanced text editor, code folding, macro recording, search and replace, a built-in file explorer and FTP interface, color picker, code beautifier and many more.

Everything about HTMLPad seems to be clean, smooth working and practical. And considering that it also offers auto completion for your code, spell checking and CSS, W3 HTML and JSLint JavaScript checking, you can definitely start to agree.

In closing, with the above to consider and much more to discover, HTMLPad truly offers you the foundation and tools that you need to start writing code in a productive way, saving you time and effort so you can focus on other important aspects of your projects.
