Q: Any Apple MS Notepad Program Out There for Mac???

Currently, whenever I need to write an HTML script, I use Microsoft's Notepad program via my VMWare Fusion Virtual Machine.

Does Microsoft have a Mac version of Notepad available for download, directly from its Web site? It would be DMG file.

Please respond, if you have a link from Microsoft.com.

Else-wise, how do I create and modify HTML documents, using a simple text editor built into OSX 10.7.5?

THX!

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.5), 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB

Hi peerleader

With a few quick tweaks, you can use the built-in TextEdit app:

THX Sparkleberry!

After downloading it, I scanned my system! All's Good! It works great and as need be!

I saved it as an HTML file (resume.html) with CRLF (Carriage Return, Line Feed) line breaks (being that of Windows), and with Unicode (UTF-8).

Right-Click on my file, open it with TextWrangler.app, and it has a format that looks like a charm!

Double-Click on it, and it opens with Safari (my default Web browser), just as intended!

My Code:

<html>
<head>
    <title>My Resume</title>
</head>
<body>
    <p>
      Hire Me!
    </p>
</body>
</html>

You are most welcome. I am glad that worked out for you. I use the paid version (BBEdit) but conceptually TextWrangler will certainly serve you well.
