What would your favourite tool for editing the .tpl files be - except for NoteTab?

Any good text editor :) Though we use Eclipse (www.eclipse.org), good for everything. If you declare .tpl files as html you get pretty good syntax colouring.

Also, if you are a kde user you may like this contribution:

Peter, I don't think you will have much success finding a WYSIWYG editor that will let you visually manipulate eZ's template code. Your best bet will be to go for a combination of your favorite WYSIWG editor and a good text editor that provides the ability to have custom tag/synatx colors. Design your layouts in the WYSIWGY editor and then pull the generated code into a good code editor. I tend to use DreamWeaver for my code (to be honest, I don't use its visual interface - so I'm not sure how it works with eZ code in that view). Sadly it doesn't provide custom coloring for eZ tags from what I can find.

I like the modified vi-editor from www.vim.org. It has syntax-hilightning that support template-tags, html-tags, php-tags, etc.etc...

Peter, what platform are you running? Knowing that may help us recommend the right software.

Thanks for all your replies! I'm quite happy using a good text editor so that's OK! However, a client of mine asked the question (they are in the process of selecting a CMS - prompting me to recommend eZ Publish :-)).

Thanks!
Peter
