my hands

I bit the bullet and bought the Jetbrains Ultimate bundle because I develop in lots of different languages. It includes WebStorm and it is a joy to use. It helps where necessary and doesn't get in my way..

I use Vim, but I don't really write pure HTML. I write Markdown and convert it into HTML as needed.

Markdown covers 95% of my HTML use cases, and I embed pure HTML into the Markdown for the last 5%.

My Markdown tools (mostly command line utilities such as Pandoc) handle HTML inside Markdown quite nicely. A few need a special "hey, there's HTML in here, pass it through unchanged" command line flag, if I recall correctly.

In a few advanced cases I'll use a variant of Jinja2 template syntax, and convert that into HTML - often with some converted Markdown mixed into it at build time.

I just write everything in vim, including raw html.

Not sure what your use case is, but if it's a static website you'd probably want a static site generator so you can write in markdown and then also include raw html for things that markdown can't represent.

usually, calibre's ebook editor, but that's cause most of my html writing and editing is to make epubs.

The following isn't any professional advice or anything, I am writing HTML manually for my hobby blog code. I don't have much experience with HTML outside occasionally reading it.

I write a bit by hand, to layout my blog page, which is using HTMX. Generally I use RustRover since that actually gives details for attributes and such along with autocomplete. And apparently yesterday it asked if I wanted to enable HTMX support, which was even more intriguing. The main articles are however converted from markdown to HTML.

I do want a better way to design with preview of my page but I think it's a long shot to find something that does HTMX at the same time. Especially since that often means having segregated pieces of HTML mixed into one document at page loading.

Depends on context, but

• Notepad++
• Visual Studio
• Visual Studio Code
• Double Commander "quick"-editor
• vim
• micro
• Firefox dev tools (console, dom edit)

When I write HTML, I don't use IDE features but accept them in Visual Studio.

Thr nice thing about Emmet is you can use what you know and slowly add on to it. I don't really use the CSS shortcuts. It's really useful for writing HTML that requires a lot of elements.
