I want to introduce you to Compose. HTML Editor «WYSIWYG» -What You See Is What You Get- or what you see is what you get. It is a component of the suites icepee en Debian, seamonkey en Ubuntu.
Main Features:
- It is as easy to use as a text editor.
- No special knowledge of HTML is required to use it.
- The buttons on the toolbar allow adding Lists, Tables, Images, Links to other pages, Font Colors and Styles, etc.
- When editing a page, you can see four different views: Normal, HTML Tags, HTML Source, and Preview.
- We can incorporate CSS Style Sheets into our pages.
- Built-in help as part of the suite's general help, be it Iceape or Seamonkey.
- Spell checker «as you type», as well as word-by-word revision at will in the languages ​​that we have installed and declared.
In short, the Composer has many options that you must discover for yourself if you decide to use it.
Recommendations:
Always go from the Simple to the Complex. If you need to make a simple page or website feel free to use this editor. Too bad the interface and Help come in English.
At least I haven't found a way to get hold of the packages in Spanish. If in the end they decide to make a static or mostly static site with complex tools such as WordPress, Drupal, Jomla, etc., which require a web server, a MySql or PostgreSQL database, and PHP as a minimum, I think it would be start with the Complex.
As anecdotal data I tell you that I "discovered" the Composer around 2000 when I was using the NetScape suite, the father of the entire Mozilla family and its derivatives: Firefox, Thunderbird, Iceweasel, Icedove, Iceape, Seamonkey, etc. Personally I even use it to write formatted texts.
I use the OpenOffice Writer to read documents in other formats.
Installation:
En Debian:
aptitude install iceape
En Ubuntu:
aptitude install seamonkey
And have you seen the Kompozer ?. I did not put it to seek participation, but I think we should refer to it. Is the same Compose, but independent.
And until next time, friends!
