I am looking for a wsyiwyg html editor for note taking as I build up a system to note what I am doing. I typically just use gedit, but this system's notes are getting complex, and using code tabs, lists, and the like would make it more enduring. I am looking at lonote on my F17 notebook, but I would like to do the note taking directly on the Centos system. Just basic html. Image inclusions if I do screen captures would be nice too.

Word processor (or at least Word and OpenOffice), along with the HTML editors I've tried in the past (including quanta) ALL suck dead roaches when it comes to o/p and formatting HTML. The word processors put *everything* on *every* single line, and nothing maintains formatting indents. mark

I like twiki, but mediawiki is probably more popular and there are many other choices. That way you only need a browser and it won't matter what OS you have locally. Finally, if you do need to use an editor to save files as html, libreoffice writer should work, but be sure you work with the view in 'web layout' and do the formatting with styles from the F11 menu with 'html' selected at the bottom. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

I edit Internet Draft XML in gedit, the run the xml2rfc cruft to get my ID. This is just an 'experiment' of sorts. Also I am looking for what I will give my son to learn from; let the wysiwig cut some html, now study it. Though for various reasons, he may be stuck on Win7 for a while, so Bluefish is of real interest (just not wysiwig). I am still undecided what I will do. And in the end, I may drop it just to get all my work done and at least have that text file that has all that I really did.

Plain text writing that exports nicely into html. http://uberwriter.wolfvollprecht.de/ http://sourceforge.net/p/retext/home/ReText/ - LF
