Can I edit Joomla created files in a text editor ? - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

-

talk newbie question !
can edit joomla created files in text editor after downloading them via standard ftp program ?
and upload them , not have them break ?
i ask have ftp access not, @ moment, access joomla front end ( understand joolma ). i’ve make many sites dreamweaver, frontpage, php , html in notepad – have not yet used joomla , need make small changes in html meta tags.

as signature preaches, don't hack joomla core. instead, read on overrides.

https://docs.joomla.org/understanding_output_overrides

this has double advantage:
1. changes can made within /templates folder, and
2. subsequent joomla upgrades not on write changes...
