Top HTML & CSS Editing Apps For Mac Designers When it comes to web design, every designer tends to have their own favorite coding application. Luckily for Mac users, there are plenty of options to choose from, this roundup of HTML and CSS editors pulls together the most popular editing apps with a brief overview of their features.
TextEdit User Guide
- Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a way to specify the styles of fonts and other page elements on your sites. It makes it easier for you to update styles too. Simple CSS for Mac.
- Set preferences that affect how HTML files are saved in TextEdit. In the TextEdit app on your Mac, choose TextEdit Preferences, then click Open and Save. Below HTML Saving Options, choose a document type, a style setting for CSS, and an encoding. Select “Preserve white space” to include code that preserves blank areas in documents.
You can use TextEdit to edit or display HTML documents as you’d see them in a browser (images may not appear), or in code-editing mode.
Note: By default, curly quotes and em dashes are substituted for straight quotes and hyphens when editing HTML as formatted text. (Code-editing mode uses straight quotes and hyphens.) To learn how to change this preference, see New Document options.
Create an HTML file
- In the TextEdit app on your Mac, choose File > New, then choose Format > Make Plain Text.
