Are there any Text Editors that convert to HTML?

Question

I've been working on a website for a while. It's a personal website that I'm gonna use to blog in, and to put up my work for my family, friends, future clients, or anyone at all to see. I've started to use a bit of PHP but I'm really only using Includes and Requires, so I have no real knowledge other than that.

My front page is just a blog. I want to post news of my life in the same way a blog would work. There are few problems I am having. The first one is a bit of a stretch, so I understand if it is too difficult for me to comprehend at the moment, but anyway here it is. I want to be able to put up a post, and after 10 posts, a new page will be created that will have my old posts, and this will continue happening as I continue to post.

As for a more realistic question, I was wondering if there is a text editor that will automatically convert simple text to HTML. What I mean by this is that I don't want to have to write

every time I put in a header. It would be nice if I could just write it out, and then convert it so all the bolds, italics, embedded objects, and anything else would be coded and I can just copy and paste.

Thanks for Reading! or Answering!

FrontPage is the world's WORSE web editor. Word, WordPad, Publisher and even the infamous FrontPage should NEVER be used for web pages. They guarantee that your web pages will NOT be cross-browser compatible because of all the Microsoft Schema code it adds. Only IE and Maxthon understand this code. Additionally, FrontPage requires server extensions be installed to work correctly.

There are several, but if you use them, you're missing the point:



HTML is a semantic, structural markup language, not one of a presentational language.



Just be thankful that you don't have to write document.body.heading.write("My web page").http-equiv(document.TITLE); instead of

My web page

Writing a tag shouldn't be too big of a deal. If you think it is, please take up and practise structure and object-oriented programming like C++ and Java so that you'll see what I mean. Coding HTML yourself will always give you control and won't throw in vendor specific properties and useless elements, like:
