Project Insomnia

Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

HTML editors

I'm looking for a new HTML editor and would like any suggestions. I'm currently using MS Visual Studio 6 and have been for a good many years. It's not ideal, though it does do tag highlighting and checks for unclosed quotes.

What I'm looking for is something slightly visual (though not too abysmal) but not a WYSIWYG editor like DreamWeaver. I code by hand and am really not interested in changing that. It should recognize all current XHTML tags and attributes as well as CSS and, perhaps, JavaScript and PHP. It should be "light", that is, quick to load and not resource-intensive. An MDI (multiple document interface) mode is preferable, as is multiple undo. Finally, it should check for unclosed tags (like a <P> without a matching </P>) and maybe perform HTML/XHTML/DTD validation.

And it has to run on Windows. I've heard wonderful things about BBEdit for Mac OS, though.

Any suggestions?
