Good HTML/CSS Editor

I'm looking for a good (non-wysiwyg) editor for HTML and CSS.

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?

I use gvim (available on windows). The automatic syntax coloring is a
nice touch.
Using gvim is weird at first because of the command mode, but really
fast you undertand it's the best text editor of the world.

You can do advanced search and replace with regular expressions... very
powerfull.

If you really hate it, you can user xemacs, there is also a windows
version.

i use maguma studio, but i code in php, too. the basic program is free
and offers excellent value given the price.

i used to use 1st page 2000, however, i think the latest package costs
some dollars. it may well be worth it, i don't know.

I've been using 1st Page 2000, but I don't particularly like it. It's

still freeware.

However I really like the instant preview feature.

I second the recommendation. An excellent product, available for
many platforms, nd free. (If you like it you're asked to make a
donation to a particular charity.)

It can syntax-highlight batch files, HTML files, programs in
various languages, and more.

I tried it but being a bear of little brain I was unable to get the

plug-in download feature to work. I downloaded the plug-in manager and
then the font browser but I could never get it to work.

I moved on to something else.

On one of the other suggestions here, I'm trying the freeware version of
Maguma studio. After a couple of hours it's looking pretty good. For one
thing I find their help files, well, helpful.

We'll see after I have used it more. Who knows? I might even take Maguma
as an excuse to learn PHP.

HTML-KIT is really good, the learning curve is miniscule compared to
FrontPage (which I dumped because of the amount of junk html it kept
inserting into the pages, no to mention changing the html). I found it
to be the best Windows freeware html editor I saw when I did a little
not too rigorous searching a few months ago. If you do the following
you'll see the plugin install is really simple (granted it is buried in
the menu):

1. download the plugin zip file
2. In the program use the menu choice:
Tools > Install > Install Plugin
