The Screem HTML/XML Editor
Screem, the
Site CReation and Editing EnvironMent,
is a web site development environment that provides a
combination HTML and XML editor. The project's aim is a
bit different from WSYWIG HTML editors.
In general WYSIWYG editors do not produce good clean valid HTML, and can also slow you down if they do not support an element that you wish to insert. By utilising a text based editing system you can use the markup you want rather than what the application thinks you need, and also provide quick access to commonly used elements via toolbar buttons which insert the markup at the current cursor position.
Screem provides a number of useful features:
Take a look at the Screem Screenshots and Documentation for further information. Version 0.8.0 of Screem was announced on GnomeDesktop.org this week, followed shortly by the bug-fix release, Screem 0.8.1. The version 0.8.0 announcement says: "This release incorporates all the changes made in the development versions over the past 7 months, and should hopefully fix some of the complaints about 0.6.x. Screem stands for Site CReation and Editing EnvironMent, and is an HTML/XML editor incorporating site management features such as templates, automatic link updating, broken link checking, and uploading changes to remote sites."

Bluefish isn't a WYSIWYG editor Posted Sep 18, 2003 2:21 UTC (Thu) by drfickle (subscriber, #1093) [Link] Unless you have a uber-s3|<r37 release that no one else has, Bluefish has always been a regular HTML text editor.
Bluefish isn't a WYSIWYG editor Posted Sep 18, 2003 8:54 UTC (Thu) by hingo (subscriber, #14792) [Link] Calling Screem WYSIWYG doesn't really seem appropriate either...http://www.screem.org/screenshots.php While I'm at it, a WYSIWYG HTML-editor is one of the things I truly miss on Linux. (Last time I checked Mozilla composer was 'WYSIWYG' but certainly not 'HTML' ... ) I've even resorted to using wine+frontpage express once! I'm hearing that Quanta has something in the works, let's keep our fingers crossed. henrik
Bluefish isn't a WYSIWYG editor Posted Sep 18, 2003 21:50 UTC (Thu) by nowster (subscriber, #67) [Link] Amaya is WYSIWIG, and is Open Source.

I have been know to crank something out in Amaya in then drag it over to Bluefish for polishing. I know some people are really bothered by the idea of using 2 tools instead of having it all in one but I don't see the problem. I just use each tool for what it does best. I know I CAN do non-WYSIWYG in Amaya but I prefer Bluefish for that part. The only MS tool for which I have found no real replacement is Visio, specifically some of the magic I can do with the pencil tool. I keep hoping something like Dia will get there. JC
Bluefish isn't a WYSIWYG editor Posted Oct 8, 2003 17:41 UTC (Wed) by hingo (subscriber, #14792) [Link] You are both right.Amaya is a pretty good (and even free) wysiwyg html editor. The reason I forgot/discounted it is that it doesn't do my own homepage perfectly (ok, so I use two nested tables for layout, shoot me) so I've had no use for it and have counted is somewhat as a disappointment. I could see myself using Amaya for a from-scratch project just the same way the other writer suggests, throwing out a layout, then hand-code the rest of it somewhere else. This is how I've always done web-pages anyway, first do a quick mock-up in Frontpage/FP express/whatever, then finish the work by hand.
Bluefish isn't a WYSIWYG editor Posted Sep 18, 2003 15:50 UTC (Thu) by cook (editor, #4) [Link] Oops, you're right,<a href="http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/">Bluefish</a> isn't WSYWIG, the article has been updated.
