Figure 1-8:
Bluefish is
a very nice
editor for
XHTML and
JavaScript.
✓ jEdit: This powerful editor is written in Java, so it is available on virtu-
ally every platform. It is a very powerful editor in its basic format, but its
best feature is the extensive plugin library that allows you to customize
it to your own needs. If you install the free XML library, jEdit has incredi-
ble support for HTML and XHTML. Figure 1-9 shows the sample program
being edited in jEdit.
✓ codetch: This editor is unique because rather than being a standalone
editor, it is actually an extension for the popular Firefox browser. It has
most of the same features as the other editors, with the convenience
of being already a part of your browser. It is not quite as configurable
as some of the other tools, but it’s still extremely handy. You can see
codetch in action in Figure 1-10.
