I just gotta jump in and take sides on the "My editor is better than
yours" argument ;-) (see Gustav's comment below)
For years and years, the first thing I did when I got to a UNIX box I
hadn't worked on before was to install emacs. I have always preferred
it because it's highly configurable and being a hacker from years gone
by, I like the lisp syntax (believe it or not, it makes sense to me).
Then comes along Xemacs which is based on the emacs code and I kind of
think of it as "emacs with attitude".
I don't do much pure html editing and so I don't know for sure, but you
might check to see if Xemacs has an html-mode (mode files are hunks of
lisp code that are downloaded and installed separately from the
editor). Xemacs is not WYSIWYG -- thank the gods -- but it gives you
both syntax highlighting and automatic content/sytax based indentation.
The URL for Xemacs is <http://www.emacs.org/>
