I used to use Crimson Editor for writing html etc. It's donate-ware too.


Seconded. Has lots of syntax files (pretty coloured key words etc.) for
some quite obscure languages.

vim does this too, with its .vimrc file plus you get to define lots of
'abbreviations' for words that you habitually mis-spell, or want to be able
to type with just one or two keystrokes etc ...

(lots of AADP-specific stuff deleted)

Plus it's free, _awesomely_ stable and _unbelievably_ powerful (albeit with
a user interface that leaves something to be desired). IMO, _the_ most
sublime text editor the world has yet seen.
