Code by hand using something like this http://www.textpad.com/

I've coded everything by hand using TextPad since I started in the biz. It's totally awesome.

And it's free.

Although it is worth buying a licence. Features include...

• Search & Replace
• Instant upper case / lower case / sentence case convertion
• Good spell checker

There's a lot more in there too, and it won't alter your code like most editors do (including Notepad).

Yup, text editors are your friend

I've been using NoteTab since dumping DW 5 years ago.

Holy shit! You mean I'm losing money!? I've got a lot of links to fix!!! |shocking|

Thanks for pointing that out Toby.

I use DW. I just checked, and I notice it only encodes links I've edited in some way.

I really like using DW though... I'm going to see if I can't turn that auto-encoding &'s off.

I use DW and haven't had that problem (I think LOL) but I use the code view to do everything then preview it in design so I think that's why.

I've been using DW since it was first introduced. The last two versions (MX 2004 and Studio 8) have been far better about when it automatically encodes as you type, usually only doing so if you are typing plain text in design view.

On closer inspection, I figured out that's exactly the case.

Before I upgraded to MX I did a lot of copy/paste. Only a few old things were affected... and mostly because of the silly ways I was doing things back then, so I wouldn't consider the error DW's fault anyway.
