Need a free and easy HTML editor


Question

Hi if anyone has experience with different editors I would like your opinion. For my Boss and his wife especially I created a simple template (html code) where she can modify the text and pictures and then copy and past the code in the admin and have it show up live on the website.

What I need for them in the editor is the following:

#1 Free

#2 Does not install just runs from the executable. If not available then installation is fine.

#3 I need for it to be WYSIWYG and work let's say like MS Word. Then when she is finished she can switch easily to HTML view and just copy and paste that code in the admin and click submit.

#4 Keep a copy of the template if possible in the program so she can always go to it and modify it each time.

That is basically all they need. I do not think I am asking much. I have searched all over Google but wanted to post here and get feedback. This template is not even a whole page it is a table with some rows and the bullet points, pictures and description.

Thanks for the help

Sounds like a CMS would work best for this. Wordpress is easy enough to set up on the server side, build in the template, and then let whomever modify.

If this is something really, really simple... many desktop applications can modify html files. Word can, for example.

What about Notepad++? Or Sublime Text?

He wants a WYSIWYG editor. But yeah, I would've suggested Notepad++ otherwise.

There aren't many good WYSIWIG editors out there anymore. Even DreamWeaver usually fails at displaying things properly.

The best free one I've ever used was Nvu, made by Mozilla and discontinued in 2005. Someone resurrected it (open source) as KompoZer which looks pretty okay. Completely free and probably your best bet by far:

http://www.kompozer.net

The last stable release was in 2007 but it contains a lot of bugfixes over Nvu so I'd just try it out.

Good luck :)

Thanks guys for the feedback. A CMS would be good but with our system is a no go that is why I need a windows program. Does Komposer just run or do I need to install? That web based editor looks interesting.

Thank you

KompoZer has both an installer and a ZIP package that works when extracted (and you just run the .exe) :)

Hey Komposer is great. I just ran it with no install and I placed the code I made and it works. She should find it easy to use.

Thanks again..

    • notice how the green doctrine went out the window now that they need their AI spy machines? F all these people.
    • If only publishers felt the same... They don't, so Steam is... well, losing steam.
    • Xbox is going a new route. This girl is just upset because she was ignored and has a different opinion. My opinion is the stretching out of Xbox to other platforms is awesome! Having a unified software model on different platforms is the future. Focusing on one device is so 1990's. The basic hardware is no longer the focus of the majority user base. It's the software, and the availability of optional hardware solutions. Heck, if one size fit all we'd all be using iPhones. This doesn't happen in the real world. And Xbox is going that route. Hats off to Microsoft in this move.
    • AMD 25.6.3 driver brings FSR 4 support for GTA V and Monster Hunter Wilds by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe AMD's driver team is busy this June. The company just released its third graphics driver of the month, and this one is focused on expanding support for FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4) upscaling tech. A handful of bug fixes are included in this release, too. AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 25.6.3 optional driver is finally bringing FSR 4 support for Monster Hunter: Wilds, the Capcom-developed action RPG that released earlier this year. The title is well known for its performance issues, so the FSR update should help RX 9000 series owners get more frames without losing too much graphics fidelity. Next, the driver also delivers FSR 4 for Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced. The expanded and enhanced version of the title featuring ray tracing and other features only hit the PC platform a few months ago, and now, latest-generation Radeon graphics users can use the upscaling tech to improve their frame rates. AMD has also fixed an issue with FSR 4 in this release that made the technology not enable properly on a bunch of games. They include DragonKin: The Banished, Blades of Fire, RoadCraft, The Alters, Star Wars Outlaws, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. A Black Myth: WuKong crash on the RX 7650 GRE GPU and a The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered texture corruption issue on the RX 9070 XT have also been resolved in this release. Here are the known issues that AMD is still working on: Stutter may be observed while playing games with some VR headsets at 80Hz or 90Hz refresh rate on some AMD Radeon™ Graphics Products, such as the Radeon™ RX 7000 series. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to change the refresh rate as a temporary workaround. Intermittent system or application crashes may be observed while playing Cyberpunk 2077 on some AMD Radeon™ Graphics Products, such as the Radeon™ RX 7000 series and Radeon™ RX 9000 series. Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing Monster Hunter Wilds with Radeon™ Anti-Lag and Instant Replay enabled. Stutter may be observed while playing Call of Duty: Warzone Season 03 ‘Verdansk’ map on some AMD Graphics Products. Stutter and lower-than-expected performance may be observed while playing 4K resolution YouTube videos in Chrome. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to play videos in full screen as a temporary workaround. The new AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 25.6.3 optional update is now available for download from the AMD Software app as well as AMD's own changelog page for the driver.
