I haven't been working on my Neocities site, alas... hoping to find some time soon. But really, I'm commenting because I'm messing around with learning Python and the training I'm using suggested the Phoenix Code text editor and WHOA. I just installed the thing today so haven't played around with it much, but apparently if you're using it for HTML, it will give you a preview of your code's render in another pane and you can click on elements in that pane to be taken to the line of code which I thought was WAY COOL. I'm not sure how useful this will be for me since I am using Jekyll on my Neocities site so am not really writing true HTML, but still, I think the editor will have some nice features over my usual Notepad++.
I'm on Windows 11, first of all, so I don't know if it's different on another OS... but I just opened the default project it came with, which is a pretty simple webpage. The screenshot below shows that project, and you can see on the right-hand pane the live preview of the code. In the middle of the live preview, it says to "click here to locate this <span> in the HTML", and sure enough, when I clicked on the span in the right-hand pane, it brought me to the line of code on the left-hand pane.
I haven't tried my own project out yet, so I don't know if it acts differently with your own projects.
Ah, I was trying it on my own project, with the desktop version rather than the web version. The click for locating HTML works on the web version! Can't seem to get it to work in the desktop version :P Still, a good recommendation for people who may want to code in-browser!

edit: just downloaded it and opened it, do you know how exactly do you click on those panels? Can't find how to do it in the docs on the site.
