Have you tried Quanta+. ?? It runs under KDE2 and is VERY nice. JLK On Monday 08 January 2001 22:03, Volker Kuhlmann wrote:
For any serious office work text editors (emacs, vi, etc) are just to plain archaic to even be considered for html authoring, unless the boss wants to hire a computer science graduate for the office - not likely. Besides, they suck in essential features - they offer zero site management (i.e. keeping common elements on all pages without using frames).
bluefish looks very nice, but is a text editor with a lot of sugar in the html department (and then it doesn't even do syntax highlighting?). Don't suggest it to your boss unless you want to make a fool out of yourself (or have successfully convinced the boss that command line is better afterall).
Luckily, there is no front page extended crap for linux.
I have tried IBM's home page builder (hpbuilder), and it works extremely well with XFree 3.x, it's fast too. Support for javascript but not php. You can switch instantly between coloured html text view and graphics view, any change in one will be reflected in the other. Offers site management (though I haven't tried it), and a large library of visual junk to include on your site. Includes an animated gif editor. It's linked against a special version of wine (which you can download from somewhere), therefore looks precisely like Billyware (your $HOME becomes C:\). It's cheap. The downside is that it currently has minor problems with the menus under XFree 4. IBM says it won't run, but you can always demo it yourself for 30 days.

Still, a native app would be nicer...

-- Scientific theories, according to Sir Karl Popper, can be "falsified," or proven wrong, by experiment. Unscientific theories -Marxist dialectical history and Freudian psychology were Popper's favorites- are formed in such a way that they cannot be falsified by data.
