The information below is now outdated, as TextWrangler is no longer available, but I’m keeping it here for historical reasons.
Now you should just download BBEdit. Yes, it’s a paid app, but if you don’t buy it, after 30 days the extra features don’t work any longer & you basically get what used to be TextWrangler.
TextWrangler is a free text editor for Mac OS X, the free little brother to the much more expensive (and, it must be said, much more feature-filled) BBEdit. It's a great text editor in its own right, however, and in particular it's good to install if your needs aren't great or if you want to test it out before graduating to BBEdit.
