Product Description:

CreaText is a cool HTML text editor with many features. It gives easy access to Mac browsers, offers Tag Coloring, a RGB<->HTML color chooser, quick access to most HTML commands and much more.

What's new in this version:

The biggest change is that I removed the WASTE text field and replaced it with the built-in text field that comes with REALbasic. At first, this meant less features. The WASTE field had some functions I had to write for myself. When that lenghty task was finished, the standard field could be used.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

Mac OS X 10.3
Mac OS X 10.2
Mac OS X 10.1

Additional Requirements:

Mac OS X 10.1.5 or higher

Great program for helping to build web standards sites... - Version: 1.5b4, 2/25/2006 10:22PM PST

I have grown to rely on this program big time. I used to use Dreamweaver to build klunky sites. Now I use CreaText and Style Master. By using these two programs together I find it great to build cutting edge W3C web standards compliant CSS sites. I make sure I build sites as "strict" and then validate via the W3C site. All in all this is SO much smoother and cheaper than using expensive programs like Dreamweaver and Go Live etc. The only thing I could wish for with CreaText would be a built in spell checker.

Great potential! - Version: 1.5b3, 5/5/2005 10:21AM PST

However, I use subethaedit now and I like it's syntax coloring better, CreaText must also add support for php syntax coloring, but I can imagine it will come.

ftp is also a great feature that I miss in subethaedit :)

This helped us build Noodletogs kids clothes and personalized diapers into an attractive, easily managed site. I found CreaText totally excellent and couldn't have built our site without it. It handled the css and html beautifully and clearly.

Making it free software is super important, too. Not just free but FREE. Hooray for GPL!

I think it really shines in a larger display, but I was able to use this effectively even on an old clamshell iBook at 800x600.

CreaText has instantly become one of the most valuable tools in my freelance practice. My customers appreciate things like low overhead and I get to feel proud working with a free tool.
