Quote from: sottwell at Feb 06, 2013, 04:01 AMThere is CodeMirror and Ace. They are both good.
I prefer ACE. It offers emmet support (used to be zencoding).
to learn about emmet watch this video:
http://emmet.io/
Some beginner advice:
If you prefer to work on a dark background you can change the theme under system settings -> ace. I recommend solarized_dark or pastel_on_dark.
If you work on a dark background, change the font size too. 15px is just fine for me.
Learn the keyboard shortcuts: You get a full list of all shortcuts with:
alt+cmd+h or ctrl+alt+h.
Some of them don't work on my Mac, but if your are working on Windows you'll be probably fine.
One I use very often is Fullscreen: alt+cmd+q /
The emmet part is truly awesome.
Type:
´´´
#page>div.logo+ul#navigation>li*5>a{Item $}
´´´
and hitting tab will result in something like this:
´´´
<div id="page">
<div class="logo"></div>
<ul id="navigation">
<li><a href="">Item 1</a></li>
<li><a href="">Item 2</a></li>
<li><a href="">Item 3</a></li>
<li><a href="">Item 4</a></li>
<li><a href="">Item 5</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
