Seamonkey! (Composer) for mostly-ordinary-text HTMLSeamonkey! (Composer) for mostly-ordinary-text HTMLPosted Jan 13, 2009 22:51 UTC (Tue) by dwheeler (guest, #1216)Parent article: 7 Linux web editors that get the job done (TechRadar) If you're editing an HTML file that is MOSTLY ordinary text, I *HIGHLY* recommend Seamonkey (Composer). It's WYSIWYG (great for ordinary text), and it doesn't insert lots of unnecessary HTML junk. (In contrast, OpenOffice.org has a nice GUI interface, but it produces really ugly HTML with uppercase tags and lots of extra junk.) It does insert a few things, but they're justifiable (e.g., it inserts closing /p tags to match opening p tags). It often leaves lines alone, which is nice when "diff"ing HTML files. It "just works"; I like it!! Its cursor occasionally disappears from view, which is annoying, but it returns to view after a moment (or a restart). To tell it to edit a local file, the first character must be "/" (it unfortunately doesn't realize that a leading "." is also a local file). So, you can invoke it from the command line in Unix/Linux like this: seamonkey -edit `pwd`/MYFILE.html
