Hello,<br />
<br />
I'm a complete novice at HTML (or any programming language) but I see it frequently and I am interested in learning as much about it as possible.<br />
<br />
Up to this point, I have generally pasted HTML into a simple notepad to examine it. However, I commonly see HTML which is <i>color-coded</i> and <i>auto-indented</i> to more easily identify specific sections and beginning/closing tags.<br />
<br />
<b>Please provide some suggestions for apps which have this type of auto-formatting capability.</b><br />
<br />
Freeware is always preferred when available and having <i>side-by-side code &amp;&nbsp;WYSIWYG</i> would be the very best.<br />
<br />
Thanks

Best software app for displaying color-coded HTML

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information to be displayed in a web browser, providing both the structure and content for what is sent from a web server through the use of tags. The current implementation of the HTML specification is HTML5.

HTML

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.

Programming

A programming language is a formal constructed language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer. Thousands of different programming languages have been created, mainly in the computer field, and many more still are being created every year. The description of a programming language is usually split into the two components of syntax (form) and semantics (meaning). Some languages are defined by a specification document (for example, the C programming language is specified by an ISO Standard), while other languages (such as Perl) have a dominant implementation that is treated as a reference. Some languages have both, with the basic language defined by a standard and extensions taken from the dominant implementation being common.
