Tumult Hyperedit: The Live Html And Php Editor For Mac
Has released, an HTML and PHP editor that splits its main window into two views, one for typing code and one for displaying the results as the code is entered.

Other features include a JavaScript code evaluator, find and replace for regular expressions, a delay timer that forces the page to wait before refreshing while you're typing and more.
It's a US$19.95 application that requires Mac OS X v.10.2 and Safari 1.0 or higher. The unregistered version will run 10 times and then displays a registration reminder. This story, 'HyperEdit displays HTML code changes in real-time' was originally published.
Tumult HyperEdit is a lightweight HTML and PHP editor with a preview pane that displays the web page live as you type. HyperEdit breaks the tedious cycle of writing html, saving the file, then reloading and viewing the page in the browser by combining the writing phase with the viewing phase.
This clarifies the effects of your changes and speeds up the overall process of making a web page. W3C-based validation will red-underline any mistakes. It uses the same rendering engine found in Safari, so it is not only standards compliant, but also very fast. Macworld: 4 1/2 mice (Nov '04) HyperEdit can be used for:.

Nice simple HTML editor (1.6.1) 1/24/2017 11:19:00 AM 5/5 By Sneakers55 HyperEdit is a nice, simple HTML editor.
I did have some trouble bringing over files created on a Windows machine. I’d occasionally run into a file that opened as blank, yet Safari could read it. After some experimentation, I discovered that a number of ANSI character strings had to be converted to their escaped versions, like cent signs, quote marks, and accented letters. Once I understood that (I’ve been editing almost 300 HTML files over the past month) I was able to work with it with ease.
It gives me total control over the HTML. The split-screen preview of the file you are editing adds a lot of functionality. I’ve tried two other HTML editors, both more expensive than HyperEdit, but I HyperEdit is what I go back to because it works! Cannot save - encoding error (1.6.1) 5/6/2016 12:25:00 AM 1/5 By Gabe Mott No help available anywhere. Sorry, this looks like an awesome editor but shame on me for not looking at the dates of the other reviews. I get a Text Encoding Error 'Cannot write data using your currently specified encoding.
Please try changing the encoding in the options window.” I try to change “western Mac OS Roman” but then run into all kinds of errors.” I would take this review down in a second or chnage to 5 stars if this was fixed. Not quite sure what this is supposed to do. (0) 8/18/2014 3:43:00 AM 1/5 By genkuro HyperEdit is a mess. It offers the least viable HTML editor I’ve run across. It does have a nice but limited PHP sandbox.
Visually, HyperEdit looks like a mashup of Cocoa user interfaces (namely UITextView and UIWebView). The scars are very visible.
Scrolling isn’t synchronized. And editing in the text view makes the web view jump around crazily. The HTML editor offers almost no WYSIWYG controls. Brush up on your HTML, you’ll need it. There’s no color picker for text. Almost any wiki editor will blow HyperEdit out of the water.
HyperEdit does include a PHP interpreter. It may simply feed code into the OSX PHP CLI and scrape the results. But cookies, sessions, urls, and forms are all missing with no means to emulate them. So writing web PHP is naturally stunted. I can’t believe MacWorld gave this 4.5 stars. No recent development, but work is really needed!

(1.6.1) 9/27/2013 2:38:00 PM 3/5 By elvisofdallas.com This is a GREAT concept. HyperEdit is a cool app that is a good complement to apps like Espresso and Coda; however, it is really lacking in a few areas. First, there is a large learning curve as compared to simply editing PHP and posting on your server (or running against your local server). If you are looking for instant debugging, you may be a little disappointed. Next, the design of linked files and tracking grouped projects of files is not where it should be. Maybe I'm just so used to version control systems that something without basic grouping features seems primative, but that's just how I see it. Finally, the app needs some work and it appears to be off the radar for new features and updates.
Pros: still a great concept, if it is updated it could be a perfect tool in your developer bag of tricks. The price is right (now just $9.99, used to be $25 I think), and it does parse PHP in real time. Perfect for Learning HTML Hand Coding and Developing Responsive Designs (1.6.1) 9/12/2013 4:58:00 PM 5/5 By Bob Kerstetter We use HyperEdit to teach hand coding and test responsive designs on the fly. We also use HyperEdit to bring writers up to speed so they can post content without technical assistance. HyperEdit integrates well with Coda through the 'Edit with' contextual menu. For developing we embed the CSS into the header then copy the code to the css file once it works for us. HyperEdit is worth every penny of its price.
Validation is fine for HTML 4, but stops at the DOCTYPE for HTML5. Since we validate with Coda this is not a problem for us. Five stars for a very cost-effective app!!
