Mac OS X text editor

[BW]

Hi,

I'm helping a friend of mine via email to fix simple html code. As he is
using a Mac OS X based laptop I don't know which text editor comes in it
by default in order to ask him to edit the pages. He sent me one file
after editing and seeing the contents of the file I realized that he
saved it as an rtf file!

Which text editor comes installed in Mac OS X? Is there any? If there is
none (I would be surprised), which text editor do Mac users use for
simple text editing (no, not word processing).

thanks,
/kd

TextEdit, but you'll have to set the pure text option or it will save as
formatted text.
Even when saved as pure text, som special characters will be different
when you open the file in MS environments. (Using the "Macintosh" text
import filter, available in some applications, may help.)
