Alchemy
Third-Party HTML Editor
Compatability List

We realize that there are several great HTML editors out there, and we're not out to reinvent the wheel, so Alchemy allows you to use whatever external HTML editor application you are comfortable with. Or you can use the internal Alchemy Web Editor, which is no slouch either if we do say so ourselves. We tested a bunch of different editors to see if they would work and play well with others, and here's the report card. The editors which are marked with a blue ball are those that integrate seamlessly with Alchemy.
