HTML Tools & Software
Tools

- W3C HTML Syntax Checker - Make sure your HTML is standards-compliant and works in all browsers. A must if you use WYSIWYG HTML editors like Front Page or Dreamweaver!
- W3C CSS Syntax Checker - Same information as above, but for Cascading Style Sheets.
- IPA Characters in HTML - It is possible to use IPA symbols in HTML, providing you know the proper encoding references. Here they are.
- Unicode Homepage - Unicode allows you to encode most of the known languages of the world across platforms and web browsers. It's also handy to know how to use unicode if you're preparing lessons that compare sounds in different languages for your students, and you'd like to let them see their own sounds in their own writing systems.
Software
- Text Wrangler - a free text editor for HTML as well as serious, hard-core computer programming (Mac)
