There is no reason to install an editor for this purpose. Mozilla has a
suite of free apps for this purpose at Webmaker:

Thimble is the editor, and I think it's very nice for students that
there is immediate feedback so you can see how your change affects the

As a bit of a left field alternative there’s always Vim.
Ok it might not be the best introduction to text editors, but given it
exists on pretty much every platform (including Android and iPhone/iPad -
http://www.vim.org/download.php) there’d be no excuses for not doing the
homework.
The main Mac port (https://code.google.com/p/macvim/) has legacy versions
back to 10.4. However, this might be more of an extra credit editor given
that it takes *some* getting used to. There is a game
(http://vim-adventures.com/) which can help with learning some of the
basic Vim controls.

I just this minute subscribed to this list after reading Andromeda
Yelton's column in American Libraries from yesterday with great interest
since I would like to teach coding in my high school library next year.
I purchased Andy Harris' HTML5 and CSS3 All-in-One For Dummies for my
summer reading and the free HTML editors he mentions in the book are
either not really free or are not compatible with my lab's 2008 Macs.
Can anyone recommend a free HTML editor for older Macs?
Many thanks and happy to be on this list,
Patricia
