Hi:

I'm not sure that this is the correct forum, but...

I'm looking for a good web page building software program that runs on
Linux. What web page editors do you all like? I like HomeSite by
Allaire (on NT), and am looking for something in that same "category."
I'm sure that many of you are satisfied with an ASCII editor, but there
are those of us who like having a built-for-purpose program because it
is easier for novice users to do something productive.

If this isn't the proper forum for such a question, please tell me (and
let me know where I should redirect this question).

Thanks,

Ron

The Troll, not liking the answer is only capable of indulging in insults.

The question was ill formed. As stated, vi is as suitable an answer to
the question as 'codeweaver'. This is the utility of a sufficient
specification and why people like me hound people like you for details.

emacs.com or whatever the text editor is.

As you linux users want to*and promote the ever unfriendly shit known
as linux onto us saying we ought to know how it works...

we can retort by saying "learn the *ing language yourself or use windows
which'll do it for you."

Go buy a $20 book and learn it. You were sooooooooooooooooooo smart to use
Linux, why be a*lesss weenie retard now?

Sheesh! What a loser you are...

Sad, isn't it? If a bloke acquires a physical injury like a broken leg,
he'll get treated with tons of sympathy. If that bloke acquires an
emotional or mental disorder like ADD or depression, he gets treated like
an exile or pariah. Isn't society great!

what exactly are you saying? that regular expressions are a burden or
something and that vi needs them in order to function? well, if you
are, you're dreadfully wrong...

No, what you're saying is that 'mere mortals' have no
use for or ability to deal with regular expressions.

Homesite offers quite a few tools I doubt vi offers, although since I
haven't used it for any long period of time I can't say for sure.

Some of the best features of homesite are:

-Code based editor plus a graphical one.
-Wizards for common tasks
-Tag completion
-HTML checking
-Spell checking
-Color tag generator
-Ability to preview the page quickly (using an inter grated IE window)
-Drop down tags (I.E, if you're doing tables and type bg BGCOLOR would
drop down for you)
-Inter grated ftp uploading

It's really an excellent program, I used to do all my html by hand but
it makes no sense to avoid using a wizard for something you have to do
a zillion times. Plus you can always edit the code if needed, it
doesn't generate messy code like a graphical HTML editor does.

This the WRONG forum, but perhaps this answer may help you.

In the larger extent of things, we are trying to communicate
with one another. Before the web we had many forms of try to
make presentations and communications (BBS, DCE, ANSI, M$-Win).

Today you are faced with the notion that you'd like to
make a presentation, but make quikly and easily.
For this there are many "web" editors. The truth is that
each of these editors is bundled and package according to
the likes of it's customer base, or the in case of many
"free" programs, the taste of the programer.

What you want is something you are familar with, something
that you don't have to learn, something you can use over
and over again. We'll if you are planning to use this
occasionally or very lightly, then flip a coin.

The best HTML, I've seen, is done by hand. The best clones
rip-off other peoples HTML work. If you want your work to be
good or admired or just different, learn to use 'vi'
or someother ASCII editor. Otherwise, if you want canned,
prepackage or bundled use Netscape GOLD or something like
that.

And last of all, you want the HTML forum:

alt.html
alt.html.editors
comp.inforsystems.www.authoring.html

A more appropriate question would be: Does HomeSite *need*
regular expressions? vi does.

No, I'm saying HomeSite doesn't need regexp because it's a
website editor. vi needs them because it's an extremely advanced
editor geared towards programmers/hackers.
