Text editors allow you to hand edit your HTML allowing complete control over
the code. Many people prefer to use NotePad to edit HTML instead of editors,
epecially more advanced designers. Many users use a combination of both. Besides
NotePad there are many free HTML editors which display different tags in different
colors, allowing you to more easily read your code and locate errors. Below
