Any text editor can do everything you need. There are only
a dozen or so hypertext codes that are relevant for
novel-writing, and you don't have to memorize them; keeping
a cheat sheet works fine. As does copying and pasting code
that works from another document.
It helps if your text editor allows you to redefine keys, so
that pressing enter makes two returns, "<p>", and a tab.
The source code is much easier to read if it's a hanging
indent, with the hypertext codes out in the margin where
they don't impede proofreading.
On the other hand, if you are trying to do graphic design
you need lots and lots of advice I'm not qualified to give.
