Text based HTML editor

Hello all,
     Looking for a good text based HTML editor that will show me line #'s, 
etc. I've managed so far with notepad under Win 98 but, with validation 
showing everything by line numbers I got a wee bit confused.  I've managed to 
mess up a simple HTML  validation error (started with 3 errors in 4.0 
Transitional, edited, and now have edited 4 times because I cut the wrong 
tags) because I am unsure where line #'s come in.  
     Also, should I worry overly much about cgi validation errors on free 
service counters?  I've attempted to contact the counter supplier to add an 
extra character instead of the '&' in the cgi script cause it is also causing 
validation problems.  
    I've gotten Bobby down pretty well except a few 'manual checks' that need 
to be performed.  This has gotten me excited.  Granted, it's nothing more 
than a simple user homepage with alot of searching done for links and 
categories, but I did it with little use of any WYSIWYG editors.  Woohoooo

TIA,
      Gordon Parmelee
