Kompozer is an udate to nvu (which was the composer module in Mozilla) as a standalone application. It still produces source code with some Netscapeisms, but it isn't anything that isn't easily cleaned up (when necessary --like to produce html e-mail) in an editor like kate, or kedit. Tim Guys, thanks for your help. I already managed to put in by vi (and ".") the 45 or so <div align="left"> and </div>. Still wonder what's wrong with bluefish, but glad there are others. There are a bunch of font things to add to my prototype HTML/PHP file, so lots to play with. gary ps: to bore you with yet-another-FWIW: this is v2 of my jottings stuff :-) > -- > In friendship, > prad > > ... with you on your journey > Towards Freedom > http://www.towardsfreedom.com (website) > Information, Inspiration, Imagination - truly a site for soaring I's > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org
