Re: [LUG] WYSIWYG HTML Editor

 

LOL!!

Macromedia Studio 2004 MX install doesn't even get off the ground under 
wine :)

The first thing it does after extracting the cab file is check what OS it's 
running on and funnily enough it fails straight away. This may be because i'm 
emulating windows 98. Anyway it's enough of a bad omen to not even bother 
trying, especially when i can try out nvu instead...

Hi everyone,

Just wondering about everyones thoughts on this matter.

The one thing that is preventing us from fully utilising Linux is the
absence of a HTML editor similar in functionality to that of Dreamweaver.

I'm sure that there are plenty of code based editors like HotMetal Pro
provided our staff know how to write HTML code but does any know of or
can recommend a WYSIWYG based editor.

It does not need to have all the bells and whistles like Dreamweaver but
as long as it can do the essentials.

Regards to all.

Quanta is pretty good - it has a "split screen" approach, but IMO not in
the same league. BlueFish is a nice editor, but doesn't appear to have the
WYSIWYG aspect of things. Screem has a nice "Preview" function that's part
of the editor, but it's not an editable preview. Mozilla have an editor
that's also been released standalone as NVU.  Apparently good; I've not
used it though. There's also OpenOffice - that has an editor too, but I
have not used that either.

If you're desperate for the clutches of Dreamweaver, then you could have a
shot at running it under WINE or Cross-Over Office.

Nothing beats having just a modicum of HTML understanding, though.  With
that in your repertoire of knowledge, any editor is your friend.
