Unfortunately, the idea that doing something 'properly' means hand coding it has continued to stick with Linux. If Linux to to become a serious corporate solution platform this idea needs to be shaken out and left in a gutter somewhere. One hacker, updating his 20 page web site in his spare time, can use vi or emacs, or one of the custom HTML editors if he wants, but that's not practical for a big website. If you have to maintain 1000 pages, you need proper tools to help you. Suppose, as part of an overhaul, you move your banner image from one directory to another. You then have to open every .html file and change the HREF in each one (or write a script to do it). A proper tool will make all the adjustments to all the files completely transparently as soon as you drag and drop the appropriate image file in a file browser. 3 seconds of computer work as opposed to 30 minutes of HTML coder work. I used to write HTML by hand until I discovered how much easier it is to use a tool to do it for me. I still go and polish it sometimes, but I have no doubts whatsoever about which is the 'proper' way to do it now. It's really odd that although many Linux servers are set up specifically to serve web sites, no one has written or ported a decent site design/maintenance tool for it.
Is there any good web authoring tool for Linux? like Golive and Dreamweaver for Windows.
I personally prefer Vi(m) or Webmaker for doing HTML 'properly'. If you want a more WYSIWYG approach, your best bets are probably StarOffice or Corel WordPerfect, although I can't vouch for either of them, since I've never produced HTML for them.
I have a suspicion, though, that you're looking for something even more graphical than that... in which case your options are very limited.
If it were me I'd take the time to learn HTML, and soon enough you'll get a WYSIWYG view (or as good as!) inside Vi or Webmaker... ;-)
