I prefer not to use WYSIWYG tools, like Nvu, I've only had bad experiences. :-(
Nvu has a good text mode also. I have used it for several pages and it never trashed anything I had done beforehand. It's very similar to Quanta.
OK ... now I am lost on this web design thing. I have a teacher at school who asked for an easy web design program she could use. I suggested Nvu ... now I wish I had not. Seems it is not for beginners (since she will be limited to the WYSIWYG.
I am afraid our school system is stuck (mired, sinking in the quicksand of MS) using WinXP. I guess the easiest is some MS slop -- like Frontpage. Unless, you can steer me to an acceptable OSS.
Thanks SW
99.9999999% of the WYSIWYG editors are pure trash. They make garbage pages. Taking the time to learn HTML is well worth it. Programs like Quanta+ and, despite what some say, Nvu in text mode are very good. I confess, I have never tried either in WYSIWYG mode. They both have "button" shortcuts to the tags that you need most, thus simplifying the process. For Windows, taking the time to locate HTMLed can be worthwhile. It is primarily a text editor, although it does have a "preview" capability in the pro version. As I said in another post it is an OLD Win3/95 program but still works perfectly in XP. Nvu is also available for Windows as a more modern editor. AFAIAC, all the above are easy to use, but then I did my first pages in Notepad. For those that don't want to learn the tags "easy" is Frontpage and it's trash pages. -- (o:]>*HUGGLES*<[:o) Billie Walsh The three best words in the English Language: "I LOVE YOU" Pass them on! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
