One of the most common mistakes WordPress-newbies make is using a word processor (like Microsoft Word, Pages, and WordPerfect) to edit server-side source-code files (such as .html, .css and .php files, etc). The problem here is that word processors need to embed a lot of extra data in the file (behind the scenes) in order to define various things like font styles, etc — data that is almost always both specific to the word processor being used AND completely incomprehensible to the kind of server-side systems required to run websites (be them powered by WordPress or otherwise). The solution, however, is extremely simple: when creating and/or editing server-side files (such as those used with WordPress) be sure to only ever use a purpose-built Text Editor. Let’s take a look at a few of the best options created specifically for the task: both free and premium — for both Macs and Windows:

Publicly released in 2008, Sublime Text is now one of the most popular and highly-regarded text editors available! One of the most notable things that sets this particular software apart is that it works across all three major platforms (Windows, OSX, and Linux) — on top of which it also supports a huge range of languages, has extensive customizability via JSON settings files (including project-specific and platform-specific settings), and offers a huge range of features including column selection and multi-select editing, auto-completion, snippets, in-editor code building and a particularly handy navigation system that lets users open files with only a few keystrokes and instantly jump to specific symbols, lines or words.

Designed specifically for software developers and web designers (and with over 20 years of history), BBEdit contains powerful multi-file text searching capabilities including strong support for Perl-compatible regular expressions and GREP. It includes FTP and SFTP tools, integrates with various code management systems, supports version control, shows differences between file versions and allows for the merging of changes. Also noteworthy is the fact that the same company that makes BBEdit, also offer an entirely free version named ‘TextWrangler’ (see below) — which may very well suffice if all you’re looking for is a top-notch text editor to edit (or even create) a few source files from time to time!

Billed as ‘the missing editor’ and awarded the Apple Design Award for Best Developer Tool at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in 2006, TextMate is a much-loved text editor with a number of notable features, including declarative customizations, tabs for open documents, recordable macros, folding sections, snippets, shell integration, and an extensible bundle system. In short: it’s both a joy to use and highly-capable — what’s more, it’s also particularly well-documented — heck, it even has its own book! If you’re a hardcore coder developing on the Mac, be sure to check this one out!

Although the above premium text editors are all very very nice, if you’re only a basic/beginner developer then you may well find one of these free options will more than suffice…
Released on June 25th 2015, Atom is the newest text editor on this list — and a choice that professional coders everywhere will likely want to seriously consider! Written in CoffeeScript and Less, Atom is a completely free and open-source text editor with support for plugins written in Node.js — referred to by its creators as “A hackable text editor for the 21st Century”.
Atom is a text editor that’s modern and extremely user-friendly — a tool you can customize to do just about anything with. It features cross-platform editing, a built-in package manager, smart auto-completion, a file system browser, four UI and eight built-in syntax themes, multiple panes and — of course: handy find and replace features.

The free alternative to BBEdit (see above), TextWrangler differs to its premium counterpart in a number of ways — all of which are detailed in a nice table on the official Bare Bones website here (notably lacking various HTML markup tools, text completion and file organization features). Whenever I find myself having to recommend an entirely free text editor for the Mac (or when I need to use one on someone else’s computer etc), I almost invariably go straight for this one — mainly because it’s just so darn simple to use!

The free and Open-Source counterpart of Komodo IDE, Komodo Edit allows user customization through plug-ins and macros, and boasts a range of different features, including auto complete, multiple selections, smart snippets (view a complete list). The downside of all this free power though is because of its IDE roots, it perhaps isn’t quite as user-friendly as some of its simpler rivals. By all means give it a go (especially if you’re more of an advanced user), but if all you’re wanting to do is edit a few individual source files, then this one might just be a bit too daunting to start out with!

Regarded by many as the best free text editor available for Windows (and with over 28 million downloads to date), Notepad++ is a robust, powerful and highly capable text editor that gets the job done! It supports over 50 programing languages, opens large files significantly faster than the default Windows Notepad (mentioned below) and boasts a range of impressive features, including tabbed editing (thereby allowing you to work with multiple open files in a single window), split screen, auto-completion, macros, syntax highlighting, syntax folding and a whole host of other handy functionality!
Although sometimes completely overlooked, both Mac and Window operating systems both come with their own default text editors built in — and whilst they’re certainly not the best (having none of the refinements of their more fully featured counterparts), they’ll certainly do the job if all you’re looking to do is make a few simple edits…
Offering only the most basic text manipulation functions, such as finding and replacing text, Notepad (not to be confused with WordPad — which is NOT a text editor) is by far the most basic text editor listed in this article — with almost none of the handy features (syntax coloring, code folding, regular expressions, macros, block-select, etc, etc) found in just about all of its 3rd party counterparts!
Mac’s default text editor, TextEdit, combines features of a text editor with those of a word processor, such as rulers, margins, and multiple font selections — allowing it to be used as both a text editor AND a basic word processor — depending on the settings/preferences. Similarly to Notepad (mentioned above), it has almost none of the numerous features found in its 3rd party rivals. While it may well do the job for a basic edit or two, if you’re intending to edit server-side files on a regular basis, you’ll do a lot better with one of the free or premium options mentioned above.

Well, first off: all seven of these text editors are built for coders and all seven are pretty darn awesome! What’s more, every one of them is available as a free trial — meaning you can give each a carefree whirl before deciding. If you’re a hardcore coder working in multiple languages you’ll probably appreciate some of the specific software development tools and high-end functionality (like multiple selections, split editing and project organization features) found only in some of the premium options (if this sounds like you then be sure to check out about the most popular premium text editing software available: Sublime Text) — update: serious coders should also be sure to check out the newest on this list: Atom — however, if you’re only a casual coder looking for a top-end text editor with basic features like syntax highlighting, macros and spell-checking, etc, then maybe start with say TextWrangler (a personal favorite of mine) if you’re on the Mac or Notepad++ if you’re a Windows user and see how you get on — after all, there’s really no need to pay top-dollar for features you’ll perhaps never use/need!
Note: For a comprehensive list of just about all the different text editors currently available check out this Wikipedia article.
Top tip: before editing any files, ALWAYS make a quick back up of them first: because there’s usually no going back once things have been overwritten without one!

BBEdit has long enjoyed a well-deserved reputation as a powerful text editor for programmers and HTML coders, so when Rich Siegel, CEO of Bare Bones Software, wanted to show me the latest features in BBEdit 8.0, available today, I was curious about where they could have taken the program. Was it going to be one of those upgrades that offers only a few minor improvements and which many people can’t justify? As it turned out, nothing could be farther from the truth: BBEdit 8.0 is one heck of an upgrade, and I think anyone who’s serious about editing text in BBEdit will find a number of significant improvements that make the upgrade price worthwhile. Let’s look at some of the most interesting among the more than 100 improvements.

Document Drawer — Tabbed browsing has taken the Web browser world by storm, so it’s not too surprising that Bare Bones started to get customer requests for tabbed editing: a single-window interface where tabs provide quick access to multiple open documents. What that really translates to is that people don’t so much want the Web browser tabbed interface, which breaks down after just a few tabs for lack of horizontal space, but a quick way to switch among documents. Enter the Document Drawer, which is a standard Mac OS X drawer listing the names of documents open in the current window. It’s a bit like OmniWeb’s tabs showing in text form, and it’s a brilliant way to keep a lot of documents (such as all the pages in flux in a Web site or development project) open at once.
Don’t want to use the horizontal space on the Document Drawer? BBEdit 8.0 also features an optional Navigation Bar at the top of the window that provides forward and back buttons, and a pop-up menu listing the open documents in that window. I know I seldom find myself working on only a single HTML file at a time, but I don’t usually need to see my multiple documents simultaneously in separate windows (though that’s of course still possible).
Multi-File Search — The Document Drawer’s emphasis on keeping multiple files open helped encourage the next major new feature, which is improved multi-file search. BBEdit has long been able to search through multiple files and display the results in a single browser window, but you could select only a single folder at a time; now a drawer in the Find & Replace window lets you select any arbitrary set of files and folders for the search, or collections such as all of a window’s open documents or all open documents. Even better, those searches are now preemptively multithreaded, which means that you can not only keep working in BBEdit while a search is running, you can keep working in BBEdit while multiple searches are running. And, since each search is a separate thread, they take full advantage of multiple processors.
Text Factory — Ironically, despite BBEdit’s power, I still find myself going back to the Classic version of Nisus Writer for certain text processing tasks – not because it’s more capable than BBEdit, but because its macro capabilities make it easy to string together multiple Find & Replace actions. BBEdit drives another nail into Nisus Writer’s Classic coffin with its new Text Factory feature, which provides an interface for stringing together multiple instances of BBEdit’s text manipulation tools. You can save a set of Text Factory settings as a separate document, and you can either run it across multiple documents in a batch, or against a single arbitrary document any time you like.
In essence then, Text Factory brings batch text processing to BBEdit. For instance, for the last nine months I’ve been merging lists of email addresses for the Take Control Announcements list every time we release a new ebook. It’s a tiresome, particular process that involves about six steps in BBEdit to format each of two files appropriately, merge them, and run several iterations of the Process Duplicate Lines command to eliminate duplicates. In fact, it was so time-consuming that I re-engineered our ordering process to eliminate it, but if I’d had Text Factory automating the process, I might never have bothered.
Along with BBEdit’s internal commands, you can add AppleScript or Unix filters to Text Factory commands, which enables even more sophisticated processing of files.
Preview via Local Server — One of the most useful features added during the BBEdit 7.x days was Preview in BBEdit, which used Apple’s WebKit to provide a nicely rendered live preview of an HTML document. The only problem with Preview in BBEdit, which I like and use regularly, is that HTML files on sites that rely on dynamic processing (such as my Web Crossing server) often don’t render particularly well, since there’s no server to generate the dynamic bits of the page.
Well, now there can be. A new option in BBEdit 8.0 lets you specify a local Web server (such as the copy of Apache launched by turning on Personal Web Sharing) as a preview server, and instead of just rendering the page directly, BBEdit sends the code through the server and renders what comes back.
There is a slight catch, of course, which is that the local server must be capable of everything your primary server is, and it must have access to all the images and other assets that your pages use. But it’s not a bad idea to have a testbed server anyway, so I imagine people who use BBEdit for a lot of HTML will start thinking about the best way to integrate this into their workflows.
Better Mac OS X Application — A number of the improvements in BBEdit are under the hood, and are aimed at making it a better Mac OS X application. Most notably, Bare Bones claims that it’s a full-fledged Unicode program now, so you can work with multiple script systems in the same document (in the previous version, you could use only a single script system at a time). BBEdit 8.0 now uses the Mac OS X system-wide spelling checker, but it unfortunately doesn’t yet support Check Spelling As You Type. Rich said that feature is at the top of the list to add; I hope we’ll see it in an 8.1 release relatively soon, since the lack of inline spell checking actually drives me to write certain things in other programs.
Also, although fonts still aren’t a big deal in BBEdit (where you can display only one per script system), the program now uses the Mac OS X Font palette. It’s worth noting that although the Unicode underpinnings would conceivably enable BBEdit to become a styled text editor, Bare Bones stated no interest in adding such a feature. I can see why Bare Bones might want to avoid styles, since BBEdit simply isn’t about making text look good. However, one aspect of that decision that I find disappointing is that being able to style text is a way of adding metadata to runs of text within a document, which in turn enables all sorts of additional things you can do in terms of text processing. That’s one area where Nisus Writer still beats out BBEdit, since Nisus Writer macros can search for and work with text based on its font, color, style, and more. Perhaps a future version of BBEdit could add user-defined styles as a way of applying metadata to text.
Other Features — Additional features abound. BBEdit 8.0 now includes an open source tool called HTML Tidy that cleans up HTML code to make it easier to read; it includes additional CSS markup commands. People working in Web scripting environments and other currently unrecognized languages can now create their own syntax coloring to make reading code easier. The new syntax coloring capabilities are aimed primarily at scripting and programming languages, and Rich said they’ll be concentrating more on SGML and XML coloring in the future.
Whereas BBEdit 7.x added support for the CVS version control system, BBEdit 8.0 brings support for most of the things programmers want to do in the Perforce version control system as well. BBEdit 8.0 also adds support for Exuberant Ctags, which creates an index of functions in source files that enables these items to be found quickly. You can now optionally have a yellow highlight on the line containing the cursor, which may make working in complex documents easier. The Philip Bar has been replaced by the Page Guide, which puts a light grey background on the right side of the page where you could soft-wrap text. Tab stops can now be displayed as light gray lines running the full length of the window, a boon to anyone who regularly works with columnar textual data. For a full list of new and modified features, see the Bare Bones Web site.
