Good free html editor with shortcuts for 's

Hi can anyone recommend a good free html editor.

I want something that will let me wrap sections of code in  tags with a shortcut for example. It would make my life easier.

I'm a developer so I want something where I'll be writing most of the html by hand.

Thanks for the help,
Alex

In Emacs' html-mode you're typing along, hit C-c RET, type your paragraph, hit C-c / to close the paragraph, and keep on hacking.

You can find this tip, and many more, here.

You can actually write a function to close any previous tag when you type "</". That said, I doubt I'd recommend Emacs unless you were planning on learning LISP too. Emacs isn't really an editor; it's a language for succinctly expressing editors.

Visual Web Developer 2010 Express is just great for beginners, and has this functionality.

Just in case you want everything else that can go with Visual Web Developer, you can use the web platform installer (http://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx) and quickly download the tools.

Very simple, but with shortcuts for the most common XHTML blocks: Rejbrand Text Editor.

You press Alt+Enter to insert ; any selection will be included inside the tags. Ctrl+Enter inserts  , Ctrl+I inserts <li></li> etc. Ctrl+n inserts <hn></hn>.
