Are your custom tags legal xhtml syntax?  If so, you should be able to use any XHTML editor.

Personally I'm partial to Adobe GoLive. Plenty of people like DreamWeaver, but I think its interface belongs in a museum. I've also used a couple of open source HTML editors, Nvu and Bluefish. GoLive, DreamWeaver and Nvu have WYSIWYG editors, which are very helpful with complex layouts. Bluefish doesn't have this feature, it's just a code editor optimized for (X)HTML.

But if you just want a nice code editor, take a look at BBEdit if you're on a Mac, or UltraEdit for Windows. Both are commercial products.

But none of these products are IDEs, just web page layout and/or text editors. If you want HTML authoring inside an IDE, I'd recommend eclipse with EclipseHTMLEditor. I hear NetBeans has something similar, as does myEclipse.

Does that help at all?

Cheers,
Troy
