NVu, an HTML editor now in beta release, has the potential to be the
next great WYSIWYG HTML editor.
have a dirty little secret. When I started to build my first Web site a
few years back, I used
Microsoft's FrontPage. The main reason I chose to use FrontPage was its
WYSIWYG facility. It made creating
tables, changing the look of the text, renaming HTML pages and many
other tasks a snap. For the professionals
among you, this may be heresy, but after cleaning up the generated
code, I had a useful site. For a number of
years, I have been looking for equivalent Linux products. The wait may
be almost over.
Although nothing yet approaches
FrontPage's ease-of-use, we now have a number of products that are
truly
WYSIWYG editors. They may grow into something much more.
NVU:
From the set of Linux HTML
editors now available, the most advanced seems to be NVu (New View).
NVu offers
users the ability to:
-
Import complete sites.
-
Publish the current set of
Web pages to the Web.
-
Export pages as ASCII text.
-
Spell check pages.
-
View pages in normal,
tagged HTML, full HTML and preview modes.
-
Set a wide variety of
encodings, including None, Unicode (UTF-8) and Western (ISO-8859-1).
-
Create tables easily.
-
Create forms easily.
-
Insert special symbols
visually, quickly.
-
Insert a table of contents
based on text styles.
-
Insert custom PHP code or
comments.
-
Write in a left-to-right or
right-to-left direction, for those using Hebrew or Arabic.
