I want something that will help me produce non-dynamic pages with a
minimum of excrescences (no, javascript, flash, etc.) in supportable style.

I am using CSS as much as possible to organize these pages, but since
I'm still fairly new at CSS I'd like a good set of help features as well.

Freeware would be nice, but functionality is more important.

Any suggestions?

Bluefish is very nice. It is text based entry, with colour coding to
easily spot the difference between attributes, tags, comments, and so
forth. It is open source, so the price fits your desire.

Crimson Editor for Windows or Bluefish for *nix

I recommend Edit+ and Topstyle however neither of them are free.

I haven't found a decent html/css editor. NVU <http://www.nvu.com> is

okay; it's written from Mozilla's code base.
Jedit <http://www.jedit.org/> is a very good, free, programming editor.
Java required.
Slickedit <http://www.slickedit.com/> is a superb programming editor.
It works in *ix, linux, windows, and mac. It isn't cheap, though: $300.
Trial program available.

I think EditPlus is the greatest thing since ApplePie:

Oh, Lord. I just realized my joke might cause a surge
of Google for "ApplePie". It was humour, not a URL.

For a compact editor (715Kb download), with nice features for syntax
colouring, and tabbed editing there's Notepad++ (Freeware, GPL)

http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/

(Supported languages : C, C++, Java, C#, XML, HTML, PHP, Javascript, RC
resource file, makefile, ASCII art file, doxygen, ini file, batch file,
ASP, VB/VBS source files, SQL, Objective-C, CSS, Pascal, Perl, Python
and Lua.)

PSPad is a pretty good freeware editor
www.pspad.com
It isn't specifically for HTML, but it does have definition files for
both CSS and HTML, so, once you get used to it, the syntax work is
done for you; you can choose a syntax and then fill in the blanks.

I think a lot of what people think is a good editor depends upon what
they are used to. There's quite a learning gradient on at least one
of the editors which has been suggested in this thread.

Even though PSPad is obviously better than what I use, I do use PC
Outline, an outline editor from the days of DOS. It is almost 20
years old, but still runs fine in a console under Win2K. I've made a
macro file for the facilities that I use most often, so if I want to
enter a text in bold, I just need to key in Alt-Btext (then four
right-arrows to get outside the syntax). I live with the various and
mostly minor drawbacks that my favourite editor has as an html editor.

So the answer to your question may be: the editor you use every day!
