Free text/html editor for Windows?

a lot of the text editors on the internet all require buying their products. are there any that are free? i'm not looking for free evaluation trials, just a free program. i don't really look forward to buying any, since i will not be programming for longer than a term and will not need the html/text editor anymore.

  1. Notepad is the best text editor and NVU is the best free alternative to Dreamweaver. NVU - Finally! A complete Web Authoring System for Linux Desktop, Microsoft Windows and Macintosh users to rival programs like FrontPage and Dreamweaver. Nvu (pronounced N-view, for a "new view") makes managing a web site a snap.
  2. Hi this is a very good FREE editor exactly what you are looking for Crimson Editor 3.70 Release
  3. two oft used programs. Notepad2.exe Notepad++.exe Both are good, I prefer Notepad2.exe. It very similar to notepad, but with syntax highlighting and other stuff. It does not have tabbed windows (which I don't like it either) If you prefer tabbed browsing, go for Notepad++. Notepad++ is free as in free speech or free beer (as they claim) Notepad2 is open source. In my view, notepad++ is slightly buggy and crashes when dealing with files of size > 100MB or so...
  4. I use Crimson Editor and Notepad 2.
  5. Aptana is the best...and it's free!
