    What do I replace Notepad++ with? I need to compare html side by side

    I need to locate some errors in an html validator and a side by side comparison would be perfect. Do you guys know of a good one? right now I use Geany but it does not have this feature that I'm aware of.

    Komodo Edit - http://www.activestate.com/komodo_edit/
    gVim - http://www.vim.org/
    Eclipse - http://www.eclipse.org

    All do that. All are free. There are undoubtedly many others. I'd go for Komodo or gVim if you just want basic editing.

    You mean like doing (diff)erences between them?

    You can use command line diff tool, or install a front-end like Meld.

    Komodo is cool, but you can just open up to 'gedit's in the terminal.

    I mean.. if thats all you need. Otherwise, get Komodo.

    I would definately recommend vim or gvim.
    For diffing, vimdiff is a great feature.

    For example

    vimdiff file1 file2 file3

    Vim is a great editor and while it can feel strange when starting, its amazing how quick you
