TypeMetal’s unobtrusive UI helps you focus on what matters most: your content.Write fluidly.With TypeMetal, you write visually, while retaining complete control over the HTML you produce. There’s no separate “preview” to refresh. You work with your fully styled content, while TypeMetal gives you exactly the markup you request.Write with polish.Tell TypeMetal how you’d like your HTML, then forget about tabs, line breaks, and angle brackets. TypeMetal formats your markup with beautiful consistency, freeing you to focus on your writing.Write semantically.Give your markup meaning.

Leverage HTML’s full potential with greater ease than ever before.Cultivate your own unique style. Then make it all the rage.TypeMetal’s “snippet sets” help you codify your HTML styling conventions — from the “class” and “id” names that trigger your CSS magic, to arbitrary common HTML constructs. What’s more, you can share your snippet sets with others, in a simple, documented file format, to help your team maintain common conventions. Collaborative website development just got easier.Write in style.Style your work consistently — using your own CSS files, or one of TypeMetal’s bundled style sheets.

TypeMetal’s “Source Loupe” and “Block Mode” help you inspect and further refine the results, yielding markup that exactly fits your working conventions.Reference with ease.TypeMetal remembers URLs you've recently copied to the pasteboard. When you create a link, they're just a few quick keystrokes away.Grasp the unseen.TypeMetal’s “Block Mode” illuminates your document’s block-level structure, and enables you to select and manipulate otherwise invisible elements.Validate at a glance.TypeMetal validates every HTML file you open, and repairs serious problems as it loads a page. Green light? You’re good to go! Not-so-green light? TypeMetal leads you to problem locations so you can fix each issue, then it re-validates as you edit. It also guides your use of HTML elements and snippets as you write, to avoid creating invalid markup in the first place.Feel supported.We want you to enjoy using TypeMetal.

What's New
- Fixed path bar context menu no longer appearing after the first right-click or Control+click, sometimes accompanied by a crash (a regression that appeared in version 1.0.3).- TypeMetal exactly preserves newlines and whitespace inside pre elements, instead of trying to condense whitespace when you move the insertion point or change the selection.
