Remember, the question was NOT "how do I do > <insert technical topic here>", but rather "What is a good html/php > editor to install from ports or packages?" I agree, this topic is more along the lines of an opinion based on personal experience. And newbies may have a more similar frame of reference for these types of opinions than veterans, who may be expert in the text editor of their choice and so find something like vi to be an easy way to edit html. As a newbie, I'm using vi for everything I do, so that in my limited time for "playing" with UNIX-like operating systems I get better at the text editor that's most universal yet still quite powerful. That said, I doubt that if I wanted to be productive (as in paid work time) with html editing, as someone new to vi, that I would choose vi for that, at least not yet anyway. My limited experience with html has all been on windows, but I still preferred text editors with syntax highlighting and maybe some auto insertion of closing tags to wysiwyg page layout type programs. Someone's previous suggestion of the combination of Kwrite and Konqueror sounded pretty good to me as a specific solution to the original question. I haven't gotten the chance to check out Konqueror specifically, but kwrite was very simple/easy to use - I needed no manual or cheat-sheet of keycodes to be productive, but I wasn't doing html either. > > David > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message my two cents, -- ****************************************************************************************** Brian Raynes ****************************************************************************************** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
