## wysiwyg html editor?

Sun Jan 20, 2013 1:20 pm

nvu died and was reborn as kompozer, which was in the squeeze repo. It is not in wheezy. I pulled the debs from a squeeze installation, and they installed on wheezy, and it seems to work - I was able to update the screenshots page at ibiblio. But kompozer hasn't been updated in over a year. Anyone know a good, free and libre html editor?

wysiwygs may have improved over the years but In the end I find all of them are unsatisfactory. At one time I tried the ones available in Linux and it was just frustration for me. I can't recommend one because I learned early on that hand-coding from scratch in a text editor was the only way to build a site with proper markup and browser cross-compatibility.

composer and libreoffice, either should be sufficient for the basics
If you want help with the website lemme know. I do not contribute much to refracta but maybe some website work would count for something.

I might need help with the website. Last time I edited the front page, I had trouble with the boxes. (Don't know the technical term.)
One thing I definitely need help with is if you have the password for [email protected]
. I keep getting bounced messages from there about pending subscriptions. They're going to the ibiblio refracta mailbox at gmail, and I can't get into refracta-users admin panel to turn it off. The password you gave me for other stuff doesn't work there. Oh, I also got a bounce from [email protected]
. Can't log in to that one, either.

The boxes are just a style hack. It does look like the code needs some cleanup. Since refracta is set to take over the world maybe we need a take-over-the-world amazing website....or not...

No idea on that chief. Back when they changed everything around the password stopped working and I think I even contacted them and heard nothing back. You might contact them or open a support ticket if there is anyone to contact or any way to open one anymore. They seemed to kind of drop the ball and so I just ignored it... so no help from me....again
