Hi Vortex,

good to know. I'll give it a try.

Another editor :

KompoZer Portable

Nvu is an easy-to-use web editor similar to Microsoft Frontpage or Dreamweaver. It is based on the same Gecko engine that powers Firefox and Thunderbird and features an FTP site manager, color picker, tabbed interface, CSS editing, standard-compliant markup, fully customizable interface, a built-in spellchecker and more.

I have found Kompozer a good performer once you get used to it and you can get reasonably good quality results once you know how it works. I have had a couple of plays with bluegriffon but find it difficult to use by comparison.

Several web designers I know don't use WYSIWYG tools. Text editors with good syntax highlighting, and of course standard-compliant browsers, are adequate.
I can imagine if they were assembly programmers, they code without visual IDE.

A nice analogy, I think :P

notepad++ treats html like a seperate programming language   :P
it gives you highlighting and shortcuts/autocomplete
but, i have written a few pages with notepad - lol

those that do it for a living probably start with a nice commercial editor/creater
then, add their own little tweeks manually
i figured, if i want to learn html, no better way to start

WYSIWYG tools can make easier the life.
