HTML Editor

The HTML editor included in EditRocket includes many tools to make HTML programming easier. Listed below is information on the HTML specific tools offered by EditRocket. See the General Highlights section at the bottom of the page for more of what EditRocket has to offer. Also, see the JavaScript and CSS editor pages for information on those features.

HTML Editor

HTML Validator

The HTML Validator tool allows users to validate HTML using the W3C HTML validator tool. Users can validate the text editor contents, or validate a URL. The results of the validation are then displayed to the user.

HTML Tag Builder

The HTML Tag Builder includes a drop down list of all HTML tags, and gives the user the ability to select the attributes of the tag, such as event attributes, style attributes, etc. Once the tag and attributes are selected, the Tag Builder inserts the tag into the text editor.

HTML Entity Selector

The HTML Entity Selector tool gives users the ability to select either the character or numeric values for HTML entities and insert those values into the text editor.

HTML Tidy

The HTML Tidy tool allows users to format their HTML code using the W3C Tidy tool.

HTML Sidekick

The HTML Sidekick allows users to quickly insert common HTML constructs into the editor. These constructs include HTML doctypes and common HTML tags. The sidekick also displays a clickable list of HTML utilities such as encoding URLs and decoding URLS, wrapping selections in tags, and converting selections to Hyperlinks. The sidekick also includes a tab for the HTML Tag Navigator, and a tab with HTML tools such as the tag builder, validator, HTML Tidy, etc.

HTML Tag Navigator

The HTML Tag Navigator tool displays the HTML tags in a document in a clickable format. Clicking on a tag takes the user directly to the location in the editor where the tag resides.

HTML Tag Completion

EditRocket can both auto lookup HTML tags and auto complete tags. When typing the beginning of an opening tag or ending tag, EditRocket will display a clickable list of HTML tags after waiting for the auto-completion delay interval (configurable in the preferences). Users can then select a tag from the list. After completing an opening HTML tag, EditRocket will automatically insert the closing tag if applicable.
