HTML tools help create websites efficiently. HTML editors range from basic text editors to WYSIWYG editors. Customization of text, forms, and tables can be tedious. SEO tools optimize HTML for search engines. Version-specific tools teach new HTML versions.
There are many ways to create a website with HyperText Markup Language (HTML), and there are also many HTML tools to help people use this language faster or more efficiently. HTML editors can be simple or complex, and some may offer no assistance to website designers at all. Some HTML tools are made to help with a section of the HTML code, such as tables or forms, and help people generate the code. Search engine optimization (SEO) uses HTML in certain ways to help target search results, and there are a few SEO tools to optimize coding properly. Each new version of HTML adds or removes coding, so there are version-specific tools to help people understand the differences.
Perhaps the most basic of the HTML tools is the HTML editor. In its simplest form, this can be a basic text editor program that allows the user to type HTML code, which can then be exported to a website. More complex editors, known as WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editors, help novice and experienced designers alike. With a WYSIWYG program, if the user types some text and creates a colored box, the program will generate HTML based on what the user entered.
Many sections of the HTML can be customized, but this is usually tedious and difficult for users. For example, text can be customized in size, color and font; forms can be customized for submissions and questions; and tables can be optimized for size, borders, and padding. These HTML tools usually do in-depth HTML generation and usually help users understand all the options they have when coding.
To help achieve a high search ranking, HTML must be coded in a way that makes it easier for search engines to read and crawl your website, as poor HTML can inhibit crawling. For this reason, HTML SEO tools go through coding and remove unnecessary sections and optimize others. While this doesn’t guarantee a high search ranking, it should help. Another benefit is that coding for high search rankings is usually a cleaner type of code, which should improve loading speed.
HTML is occasionally updated, and each update introduces and deprecates tags. Version-specific HTML tools are optimized to teach and show users how the new HTML version works. This is typically packaged in a common HTML editor, but sometimes it’s a standalone program. The standalone version may or may not be able to create websites, depending on the power of the program.
