Kompozer replacement?

[T]

Hi All,

Fedora 33

Anyone have a favorite open source replacement for
Kompozer? I do like its WYSIWYG editor. I use Flue
Fish, but no WYSIWYG editor.

Many thanks,
-T

Blue Griffon seems nice, but it is a bit expensive for
me and no Fedora support

I went from Kompozer to the Bluefish Editor.
On a wide monitor, I have Bluefish running on the left side of the
desktop and a browser running on the right side. Doing [SAVE]s in
Bluefish and [RELOAD]s in the browser == WYSIWYG.

I run a web server on the LAN -- local access only. I edit out of
the local website directories. I "alias" my public facing websites
to local names via /etc/hosts
e.g.: the public "example.com" is local "example.tst"
Then I use sftp, rsync, whatever to update the public website(s)
from the local, .tst website(s).

I tried Blue Griffon once, it seemed to junk-up the web files
with A LOT of detritus. But, that was YEARS ago....

Hi Jonesy,

I do the same.

You nailed it with the "detritus" comment!

Seamonkey includes an HTML editor called "Composer" (based on Kompozer).

Thank you!

Oh! I thought "Kompozer" was "Composer" mispelled. I had no idea that a
separate "Kompozer" editor existed.

openSUSE doesn't carry it "officially", only two home repos have it.

Cheers, Carlos.

Hi Rob,

I have been using this for a while. I am
pretty happy with it.

I made my own launcher for it so I don't have
to dig it out of SeaMonkey:

seamonkey --edit %u

Thank you!

Kompozer was based on NVU. NVU was based on Mozilla's Composer. So,
Composer is Kompozer's granddad.

Seamonkey is a Mozilla's continuation with the new name and the
"original" WYSISYG Composer. The true original was Netscape's Composer
before AOL acquired the company, and Mozilla was Netscape's direct
descendant.
