[ale] HTML Editor

There's a point you reach where the time saved by using a good wysiwyg is
worth sacrificing the pride you get from hand-coding everything.  I too use
vi, but from a design standpoint, dreamweaver just saves me too much time. 
I know html, and hand-coded it for years, but found that layout issues
(image slicing, table layout, etc) go much quicker using wysiwyg's.  From a
layout perspective, a good wysiwyg can work wonders.

Sure, I can be stubborn and hand-code it all.  I can also learn assembler
and write all my applications in it.  However, I'd rather use something that
will save me time, having found over the years a direct correlation between
time and money.

> Good wysywig html editors aren't generally a linux thing; if you're
technically oriented enough to use linux, you're technically oriented enough
to learn html.

If you're interested, go buy an html book.  If you're cheap, learn it
online.
If you're lazy.... find a windows box and buy dreamweaver. :)  HTML isn't
terribly hard to learn.

Oh, and if you're not talking about wysywig specifically..... yeah, vi works
for me too ;-)

&gt; Hey Guys,
&gt;
&gt; I need your recommendation for a html editor for linux. What are the
top
&gt; choices. I am currently using Netscape Composer. The web pages are in
&gt; cvs so I don't necessarily need something that will edit an entire
site.
&gt; Just something is a really good editor for pages.
&gt;
