I was playing around with Nvu, and discovered it has serious problems. Mainly that it reformats one's code regardless of whether or not one selects the "Don't reformat code" option. I know there are a few HTML editors out there, so I'm not asking if they exist. What I'm wondering if there are those on this list who may have a recommendation for one they like and why. I'm also asking on some other lists. Although I'm looking for editors that will run on CentOS, I can understand if this strays too much from the topic of the list. PLease email me off list if you feel that would be more appropriate. Dave

It won't be long before Stallman will just have all computers boot straight into Emacs. 8-) For the hard core, there's also vi. Cheers,

If Nvu had that option to "Don't reformat code" I would probably be more than happy using it ... it even messes with comments and Javascript.> > I know there are a few HTML editors out there, so I'm not asking if they > exist.

PLease > email me off list if you feel that would be more appropriate.Ironically, I just finished compiling one of my absolute *favorite* text editors, Jed, from source, since I use it in nearly everything I do. It does not come with CentOS, but it is a whiz to install. Add the durable power of Aspell and some of its internals and you have one of the finest non-GUI text editors around. I also installed (from an RPM) Pico and Pine, and Joe for one of my office staff, since he likes Joe better than Jed. Of course, for those colon-challenged among us, there is always Vi.

They were pretty easy compared to emacs and vi as they both were clones of (iirc) Wordstar. Never seriously used emacs. Too much religion and "resistance is futile" :) Since I had to use vi in a few AIX classes I started using it. Forgot most of the commands to do stuff but if you remember :w to save, :i to insert and :dd to delete a line you can get a long way. For html I use Bluefish. There is also Quanta if you don't mind a KDE environment. Regards, Patrick
