7,354 PointsAuto-Formatting HTML on TextEdit?
I'm currently doing the HTML Deep Dive course and in the beginning Nick has mentioned that Mac users should be using TextEdit. I was wondering if there are settings to "auto-format"(?) the HTML as seen in the videos, meaning colors, indentation, closing tags. or is it an entirely different text editor?

Brackets is pretty nice too, there are also Coda, TextWrangler, Espresso ... but some aren't free.
