In Windows, I was able to pull up Notepad, input some raw HTML code, and save the file with the .htm (or .html) extension.
If you are working with HTML, you would do well to get a better text editor, or, even better, a text editor that includes lots of features to make HTML coding go faster.
A better, yet still free text editor:
TextWrangler (free)
Bare Bones Software | TextWrangler
This one is a longtime favorite of hand coders:
BBEdit ($100)
Bare Bones Software | BBEdit 9
This is my personal favorite for hand coding HTML:
PageSpinner ($30)
PageSpinner - the HTML editor for Mac OS X
Other choices:
CODA ($99)
Panic - Coda - One-Window Web Development for Mac OS X
ESPRESSO ($80)
MacRabbit - Espresso
However, you might want to use a WYSIWYG Web site creation program instead, or just occasionally for quick jobs. There are a bunch of these for the Macintosh; all of them are good. But here is my favorite, and it is FREE:
KOMPOZER (free and open source)
http://kompozer.net/
Kompozer is a very impressive application. It is more like DreamWeaver than iWeb, but it is very easy to use. In fact, it is almost as powerful as a professional-level Web site creation tool. There are several free tutorials to learn how to use the program, and it isn't hard to learn to use. You can easily migrate your existing Web site(s) to Kompozer because it doesn't use a proprietary format, it will simply open your HTML-based Web site.
