I am new to Drupal. My native web developing program is Dreamweaver, and my current one is Microsoft Expressions Web 4. Both of these have an advanced html text editor, and I am hoping to find a module that will turn drupal text boxes into html editors (or give the option for it).
The two top html editor modules seem to be CKEditor and Wizzywig. Both of these are heavy WYSIWYG editors and fall short of what I am looking for. I would like an html TEXT editor. Wikipedia gives a passable explanation of what I mean so I will paste their description here.
"Text (source) editors intended for use with HTML usually provide syntax highlighting. Templates, toolbars and keyboard shortcuts may quickly insert common HTML elements and structures. Wizards, tooltip prompts and autocompletion may help with common tasks.
Text HTML editors commonly include either built-in functions or integration with external tools for such tasks as source and version control, link-checking, code checking and validation, code cleanup and formatting, spell-checking, uploading by FTP or WebDAV, and structuring as a project.
Text editors require user understanding of HTML and any other web technologies the designer wishes to use like CSS, JavaScript and server-side scripting languages. They were also referred to A Simple HTML Editor (ASHE).[1]"
