Maybe an adittional information: PSPad is completely freeware and portable. You can download it right here: http://pspad.en.softonic.com/ This would be the best idea if you can't run a local server, because if there is an editor with this functionality built in, he'd have to bring a little local server with it, and I really don't know an editor which is able to do that without an external software.
