       I've never used regexp for anything. I don't know why I might   
   use them editing HTML. For HTML, or anything, I want an editor   
   designed for that specifically.

      It sounds like you're not really editing HTML in the sense of web design,   
   but rather editing your browser bookmarks file? If that's the case then I   
   can see why you want only a plain editor.
