HTML-Kit is a full-featured editor designed to help HTML, XHTML and XML authors to edit, format, lookup help, validate, preview and publish web pages.

Despite the fact that it’s a small package, HTML-Kit is a multi-purpose software that has all the needed support for several programming languages and also scripting.

Here are some key features of „HTMLKit Build“:

Coloring of JSP blocks is also supported.
