Alright, so I've looked around the web and haven't been able to find what I'm looking for (or maybe I'm just bad at searching). So before I fire up VB.net, I thought I'd ask here. I'm looking for a free HTML editor that will close tags automatically as well as escape the tag once I'm done with it.

For example, if I were to enter:

<div id="blah"><p>Loreumz ipsumz

And then hit something (eg: Shift+Enter), it should close the paragraph tag. Hitting something again would then close the div tag, etc... Another option would be an editor that automatically closes tags as soon as you write the tag, but then when you hit something (eg: Enter or Shift+Enter), it will bring you to a new line below the closed tags. Most editors that I've seen that close tags automatically, you have to use the ctrl + arrow keys to get to the end of the line and then开发者_如何学C hit enter - very annoying and time consuming.

Bonus points for:

• HTML 5 Support
• Javascript/PHP syntax highlighting
• Auto-completion
• Cute pictures of penguins

Edit: This question was in no way open-ended or off-topic. It was a specific question regarding finding an editor that has specific features available. If there is a correct place to put this, then tell me where. Don't just insult one of your fellow members and discourage them from ever asking or helping out with questions ever again.

You could use vim with the autoclose tag plugin.

notepad++ is my #1 pick, aptana studio is also good if you want something that looks more "zazzy" i suppose

Hmm, well, a step up from just 'editor' is an IDE that hits all your bonus points as well, and then some. I do all my development in NetBeans 6.7 PHP edition, which also has extensive support for XML, XSLT, JavaScript, HTML, XHTML, JSON, YAML and many, many, many more. It supports proper debugging (including RESTful HTTP monitoring, and more), multiple windows, and on and on, including integration with all sorts of good tools (source-code repositories, plugins, WYSIWYG, service wizards, other wizards, templates ...)

Do I need to continue? I know the footprint is larger, but I couldn't do my job properly without it. Stand-alone editors just doesn't do it for me anymore. I'm such a IDE slut.

Komodo Edit might work for you.
