Could you add epub to the HTML Editor. I currently use Sigil which does many things very well but requires a 2 or 3 step process to produce epub files, with extensive editing at each step.

It would be very helpful if there was a link checker available to check pages on the fly, one page at a time.

I would reeeeeaaaaaaalllllyyyyyyyyyy lovvvvvvvveeeeeeeee to be able to do a right click and open folder from the Local Disk file tree. I can't count on 10 hands in the past month how many times I've wanted to do this and have to use a round about way to get there with the Open menu.

I would also really love the ability to right click the tabs of the open pages and Save or Upload from there. Right now there is really no discernible way to see on the file tree what pages you have open other than a visual scan of the file tree. Would be nice to have a variety of functions in a right click menu on the tabs of the open pages even. Some basic ones that many programs have would be Save, Upload, Close, Copy, Duplicate, ... and so on, but the Save and/or Upload ones are my main concern.

One other suggestion that I have been meaning to ask for is the ability to reorganize the tab order of the open pages. ** DONE **

Thanks :)

I noticed the html5 hgroup element is missing in the html5 code section: <hgroup></hgroup> maybe it could be added in the next Editor update :)

Two suggestions,
1) Ability to insert the current date in multiple formats. Very helpful when you have to insert the date for documentation purposes
2)Would be great if I could insert a comment in CSS. /* comment */
** DONE **

OH, now I understand what it is you are trying to do, my apologies. I don't think you can easily change the menu to insert a comment like that, but as a work around you could try

tools>>preferences>>customization tab>>open markup library. then select which tag library you want to add the tag to (might I suggest "! (css comment)", "/*", "*/" ) and then whenever you need a css comment the tags tab on the left of the screen will have it for you :)


Thanks David,
I hadn't even realized to go that route. Seems a bit confusing that the choice on the Edit Menu doesn't allow you to edit all of those options, just the HTML markup has a choice. Going the manual way as you mentioned will help a lot but....

HEY CC DEVS.... this is really messed up don't you think? Using the Edit Menu choice, shouldn't there be a Edit Markup rather than just Edit HTML Markup? Taking you to the main Markup window that you go to via preferences? Would make more sense than having to fish around for all other markups than the HTML ones. Just a thought :)

The HTML Editor Website Spider tool (which is REALLY COOL, BTW [worth the price of the Editor{and some}]!!) could use a feature enhancement:

The Benchmark Site editbox would be more fun if it had a drop-down with previously entered URLs. Same for the Compare Site editbox. And/or, how about if it was cognizant of previously created HTML Editor projects (what you guys call "My Websites"). Perhaps a select one of these -- OR -- enter another kind of thing.
When we look at the things around us, we only see them as they were in the past. We really have no perception of reality, at all!

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
