Cross-platform multi-syntax highlighting editor
Is there an editor that:
- Available at least for windows and linux
- Highlights multiple syntaxes in one document. (Ala Dreamweaver)
- Tabbed interface
All editors I tried were only highlighted with a file extension which is not thin enough. At least it should differentiate scripts from html, css and javascript in the same document.
The answer is emacs. You can do almost anything you want with this editor. There is "nxhtml-mode" which you can use to edit javascript, php, html, ruby, jsp, css, no matter the same file. If you're still at university, the best advice I can give you is to learn how to use emacs. It will truly change your life.

Highliting syntax handling and completion for multilingual files is what the NetBeans folks have been working on and have been available for javascript since 6.1.I was under the impression of JavaPosse # 214 that it later showed up in 6.5.
I'm not Netbeans myself (my main tools are Emacs and Eclipse), but it might be worth looking at you.
