Hello Linux folkz, Could somebody please advise based on personal experience, are there any good Linux compatible WYSIWYG HTML editors. ...
Thank you in advance for any hints or opinions,
I think what people are trying to tell you, each in their individually inimitable style, is that WYSIWYG for HTML is a dubious proposition.
I would say that if your needs are casual and occasional, a WYSIWYG HTML editor is a fine thing to use, but if you're needs are more serious (e.g., you care about browser independence and maintainability) you'll do best by learning to deal with HTML on its own terms, not through the filter of a WYSIWYG editor.
Nonetheless there are people (I guess) who do professional Web development work using things like DreamWeaver or InDesign (certainly Macromedia and Adobe want you to believe this), so you could also use one of these running on Windows under virtualization (VMware, Xen, etc.) on a Linux box. They're pretty pricey, though and you'd need a Windows license, too..

And, along those lines, I could have been a bit more helpful. See: http://www.w3schools.com/ It is a great reference with hundreds of examples that will teach you 90% of what you need to know about all of web authoring (css, html, xml, xhtml, dhtml, php, sql, etc..) It really is a good place to start and to revisit often regardless whether you use a sysiwyg editor or not. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
