I've got debian 8 on my laptop that I work from.

Is there a wysiwyg html and css editor for free?

Sublime text editor and adobe dreamweaver came up as recommended on google.

I'm looking for something low-cost or free.

I'm learning css and html on codecademy, and I really like what they have there.

Additionally, something like koding.com has would be great. Though, this doesn't have to be web-based, it can be a desktop application as well.

  • Excuse me but you're going to learn nothing by using shitty "wysiwyg" editors. It does all the work for you instead of you doing it for yourself and learning.

  • i use notepag++ and adobe dreamweaver.

  • Use Atom from Github with Firefox Developer Editor. wysiwyg editors will only make your learn slower.

    Notepad++ yes, Dreamweaver hell no!

    As the others mentioned, a nice editor Atom, Notepad++, Webstorm or even PHPStorm (last two not free) coupled with Firefox + Firebug or the developer edition of Firefox and that's it.

    It's all you need.

  • I use Coda on Mac for all my HTML, CSS and PHP coding. For more advanced PHP I prefer to use an IDE.

  • Notepad++ & Dreamweaver CC for me. But I am not keen on WYSIWYG. CMS is done in WP.

  • JetBrains - webstorm

  • I've realized I've got a student licence for jetbrains.com.

    If you've got an active student account at a uni/college, try this link:

    Thanks everyone for the comments, I will try phpstorm for now.

  • Just use sublime text 3 and install package manager..I believe it is the best code editor unfortunately its not an IDE.However with package manager you can install loads of plugins...

    Sublime is paid, and very expensive.

    Sublime is free to use as long as you can live with the occasional nag screen. The trial is unlimited.

    It is not worth $70, though. I would consider paying for it, if it were a lot less than that.

  • Atom by github, best editor to date.

  • Netbeans with google development console.

    I use Sublime, I only paid $30 for it but as noted it will work for free, you just get a pop up every so often asking you to buy it.

  • Sublime, brackets, notepad++, C9.io (Online IDE). Just choose what ever you prefer. My personal preference goes to Sublime text.

    Just use what ever works for you.

    After every 50 save I think. Not bother me much anyway.

    Great editor, not an IDE, as @noman mentioned. But I use it to edit PHP & .sh and upload them to test server directly via filezilla.

  • why was i reminded of Microsoft FrontPage :D

  • +1 for Sublime Text. Free to use, but in my opinion, totally worth the $70.

  • Use nano. It's a great text editor, and comes with Debian I believe (if not, Audi apt-get install nano -y)

    nano is free, has been here for many years and has most functions I look for (finding, code indenting with the tab key, etc)

  • My suggestion from a software engineers point of view would be to try the Atom editor. It's free, has plugins for w/e u want to edit, and you don't have to learn how to use unfamiliar keybindings.

    The only WYSIWYG editor i can recommend for html/css is Macaw. The code generated by Macaw is good, it's easy to use, It fits into my workflow so that i can skip photoshop and visually create mockups that i can then move to my code editor of choice (vim) to iterate from there.

  • Brackets, Atom, Notepad++ for windows and on debian nano.

  • Espresso for html & css it's great macrabbit.com/espresso/

  • SublimeText

  • can try open source "Bluefish" html editor

  • Notepad++ is the best tool, specially when you start from scratch.

  • Sublime text all the way for HTML/CSS
