Oh dude, Notepad sucks. Notepad++ is MUCH better and also free. In fact, there are many text editors for free and I have yet to ever see one that didn’t beat Notepad.
NoteTab Light (free)

I was using this for making webpages till I switched to HTMLPad 2022
NoteTab Light has many extra tabs of useful menus like HTML-CSS code and Utilities - conversions and Smilies and all sort of other tools.
The only thing missing is an X on each tab that Notepad++ has.
