[PLUG] HTML editor for Linux

[beldon@speakeasy.net]

A few meetings back, someone was asking about a visual HTML editor for Linux.  I just got the following from my daily Linux tip from TechRepublic:

"YES, THERE IS A GREAT WYSIWYG HTML EDITOR FOR LINUX!
Many would-be Linux users need to create and maintain Web pages as part 
of their day-to-day responsibilities, and they prefer to use what-you-
see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) editors, such as Dreamweaver or Microsoft 
Front Page. These programs combine easy-to-use Web page preparation 
tools with site management utilities. Linux users have been complaining 
for some time that there is no Linux-compatible software comparable to 
these popular Windows-based tools. The absence of a Mozilla-esque 
Dreamweaver clone is one of the several Linux application deficits that 
are keeping a good number of unhappy Windows users from making the 
switch to Linux.

There still isn't a first-rate GPL-licensed, cost-free WYSIWYG HTML 
editor for Linux, but there is an outstanding commercial program: 
WebSphere Homepage Builder. Formerly called TopPage, WebSphere 4.0 is a 
Windows program that requires a specially adapted wine emulator 
(downloadable from IBM's site) in order to run on Linux. Don't let the 
emulation scare you off; WebSphere ran quite well on a Linux system 
equipped with a Pentium 166. Once you've started the program, you'll 
find that it's the equal of Dreamweaver or Front Page and possibly 
better.
