Notepad coding

Question

I've heard you can code HTML using Notepad, but what other languages can be used on notepad?

Answer 1

Hi,

HTML and some of the other web scripting languages are about the only coding you can do in Notepad s a HTML file does not need to be compiled it will just run

So you can Code HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JQuery, VBS and XML in Notepad

But if you wanted to use a language like C#, Java, C++ . .. etc. you would need an IDE (Integrated Development Environment), which would include a code editor, UI Editor, compilers . . etc. Visual Studio Community Edition is available for free and is the top end of Coding IDE's

Answer 2

Notepad is simply a text editor. You can code anything you like with it, but you may prefer an app with more features.

Answer 3

Notepad is just a text editor. You can write whatever you want in Notepad. Hence, you can write HTML or VC++ or Java or any code of any langauge of the world. But, it is not a code editor, hence won't tell you syntax error or will not offer any assistance in writing a code.

If you are looking for a Notepad kind of editor - I would recommend that you should download Notepad++ which is one of the most popular editors available in the world and is also free of cost. This offers support for a lot of languages including HTML.
