How to read html code - Looking for an html viewer/reader/editor

Windows 10 Pro, Ver. 21H2 (OS Build 19044.2130)

Howdy Folks

I'm looking for a good, safe html viewer/editor. e.g. Similar to BlueGriffon, however there doesn't seem to be a current version available: Just a moment....

Free is good, portable would be a plus.
Google has many to choose from; however some download sites don't appear safe, e.g. not "https".

I'm not interested in designing web pages, just converting html code to text for reading, evaluating, etc.

TIA to all who read this post and to those with suggestions and comments.

There's one on Portable Apps .com

KompoZer Portable (web page editor) | PortableApps.com

If you just want to see the text why not just open the .html file in your browser?

Have you investigated SeaMonkey? The SeaMonkey(R) Project

Partially based on Firefox and Thunderbird, it includes an HTML composer.

Thanks, I'll check out KompoZer Portable
Using Browser: Yes, I do this when appropriate. Sometimes I'm curious about html that may contain malicious code. e.g. I often read the header and/or text from email marked "spam" to learn where it came from, etc.
@selden
Thanks for SeaMonkey, I'll check it out. I Recall seeing it once while looking for something else. I use Firefox and Thunderbird, so ...

I'll leave this unsoved for a day or so in case there's more ...

Tried to post sample text from a file opened in Notepad++ but was blocked by Cloudflare. One thing of note with a Web page is whether HTML 4 or HTML 5 is involved. Might try right-click in a page and View Page Source.

@Berton
Thanks :)

Try VS Code Editor. It is a very good editor, free to use from Microsoft

jd,

I don't have a horse in this race but these pages have download links for the editor mandoit mentioned
Visual Studio Code - Code Editing. Redefined
MS VS Downloads

There's lots of guidance on this editor in the MS site including
Documentation for Visual Studio Code
Learn to use the code editor - MSLearn


Merry Christmas,
Denis

Visual Studio Code - Wikipedia

Definitely VSCode, it's the best code editor you can find today.
