Text Editors

Ideal for writing code, a text editor is a piece of software that you download on your computer, or you access through a web browser, that allows you to write in order to build a web site. Software developers need to choose the correct text editor for their task. Depending on the tools, they each can provide different benefits for a coder.

Great Features of Different Text Editors

• Code completion allows you to start typing, and displays possible suggestions based on what you type.
• Syntax highlighting is a feature that takes text and makes it more noticeable by colorizing the text.
• Themes allow you to change the color of the background of your text editor, the series of colors in your text, and sometimes themes will affect other aspects of your text editing software as well.
