CreaText is a cool HTML text editor with many features. It gives easy access to Mac browsers, offers Tag Coloring, a RGBHTML color chooser, quick access to most HTML commands and much more.
CreaText is a carbonized release for Mac OS X.

What's New:
Redesigned 'New document' dialog, redesigned 'Meta' dialog, rearranged 'Preferences' dialog
Carbonized release for Mac OS X
Line breaks only when you enter a carriage returns ("hard break", or "no word wrap"), horizontal scrollbar
Redesigned 'Find' dialog with Regular Expressions
End-Tag auto complete
Scrollbar appearance (Windows Internet Explorer feature)
Supports HTML 3.2
Color chooser displays color name of selected color
Fixed FTP bug which would cause an application crash
Text encoding works better
Uses Carbon Declare Library 02/03 (supplies many useful functions)
CSS fix (dotted instead of dooted)
End Tag auto complete omits
Insert > Link now mapped to Command-K, so Mac OS X can use Command-H to Hide CreaText
OSX folder icons (thanks Zaki)
New Preferences icons (thanks Zaki)
Color chooser problem fixed
Fixed a bug where new blank documents with HTML in it had lowercase DTDs
Fixed some smaller bugs in Find/Replace/RegEx
Recoloring when (quoted) attributes are entered
Mac OS X style toolbar with new icons (thanks Fred)
Finds .app browsers (including Safari and Firefox)
Open source project (sourceforge.net/projects/creatext/)
New menu command: Edit > Show last dialog (Cmd-D) re-opens the dialog you had opened at last
Fixed Replace dialog
Uses System font size 11 instead of Geneva
Custom tab size is shown in the Preferences dialog (before it would always display 32)
For previewing files, CreaText now always uses the latest version; this means if you made changes but didn't save them, CreaText uses the altered version, not the last saved as before
Two new menu commands for inserting a center tag:
Insert > Basic > Center tag (Cmd-Shift-V) inserts a "CENTER"/"CENTER" tag pair
Insert - Basic - Center div (Cmd-Option-V) inserts a "DIV align="center"""/DIV" tag pair
Fixed the XHTML 1.0 doctypes
Fixed bug when cancelling when closing multiple unsaved windows would result in an endless loop
AppleScript menu supports unlimited count of folders
Fixed a bug in the Formatting dialog showing two double crosses (heavy REALbasic bug indeed)
Find Dialog supports auto complete (simple and only per CreaText session)
HTML/XHTML mode menu at the bottom of the main window
Arrow keys don't mark the document as changed anymore (bug in WASTEfield).
