HTML Editor
HTML files open in a live rendered editor. Changes made directly in the rendered page appear immediately, as they do in the Markdown editor.
Features
- Live rendering — edit the formatted output, not raw source
- Formatting toolbar — bold, italic, headings, lists, blockquote, code block, horizontal rule
- Find and replace —
Cmd+Fwith match highlighting, replace-next, and replace-all - Rich/Source toggle — switch between rendered view and raw HTML source
- Autosave — changes save automatically after ~450ms of inactivity
How it differs from Markdown
In rendered mode, you edit the rendered content, and CrispyVibe writes your changes back as HTML. The formatting ribbon sends its commands to the editor.
💡 Tip: Use the source toggle to inspect or hand-edit the raw HTML when the visual editor doesn’t give you enough control.
Line numbers
Source mode shows line numbers with the default Source Editors setting in App Settings > Appearance > Line Numbers. The rendered view does not show line numbers, even with All Text Views.
Text size
Cmd++ or Cmd+=, Cmd+-, and Cmd+0 (or the matching View menu commands) resize the rendered page in place, including the content of the HTML file itself. The page does not reload, so your caret, scroll position, and unsaved edits stay intact. See Keyboard Shortcuts.
