MPH Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Macromedia Dreamweaver isn't available on Linux (yet), so which apps do you recomend for web design? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forster Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Kwrite - much easier to use than a program that dumbs down html / php / asp creation. Learn it, then type it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPH Posted March 22, 2004 Author Share Posted March 22, 2004 Any WYSIWYG application?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemical Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Any WYSIWYG application?? www.nvu.com is about the closest youll get, but i myself prefer bluefish and gimp for graphics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted March 22, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 22, 2004 Any WYSIWYG application?? The NVU thing is about as close as it is in *nix land... Most of us are the "text editor" kinds of people... However, I think that Codeweaver's "Crossover Office" program will run Macromedia Dreamweaver for Windows in Linux. Not a native app, but if you like the point and click webpage building, that is probably your best solution.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioVendetta Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Ive been using Kwrite. Like the feeling of doing it all myself :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nichotin Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 At first i thought i really had a need for WYSIWYG, but after a quick look at www.w3schools.org i realized that I was better off using a simple text editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKer Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 I'de recommend Quanta or Bluefish, although they aren't as good as Dreamweaver (especially when you use DW in source code editing mode, as it has intelligent suggestions and syntax information for PHP as you type (like Visual C/Basic) - something that hasn't been implemented in UNIX yet as it's so complex, programmers aren't willing to spend their time developing such a huge system, as I read (although Quanta does give you shortcuts to variable names as you type (i.e. if you typr '$' it'll list all the variables, and '$r' all the variable beginning in r - that saves loads of time)). I personally use DW on Windows with a Linux box as the server, as it really is the best IMO (and I never use the WYSIWYG elements), and I love the FTP integration which makes uploading a breeze. If you really want to run DW on Linux I've tried Crossover office, but it's about 3 times slower than with Windows, and this is on a decent machine with loads of RAM. The bleeding edge quanta also has a very nice CSS editor but it's buggy as anything, and not ready for use on anything critical, this will be good when finished.

metal_dragen Veteran Posted March 22, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 22, 2004 I use jEdit for just about everything now. It's written in Java, so it's cross-platform, and it runs great. It has loads of extensions you can install as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrStaticVoid Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 two words : vi + improved Heh. Poor guy. MPH comes obviously looking for a WYSIWYG app and he gets a dozen responses saying "Vim!" Honestly, though, it really is that good. :wq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenLin Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 nvu is not usable yet except for the very simplest of wysiwyg jobs. I ditched it the first time I looked at an existing page in it and it reformatted all of my code and didn't even so syntax highlighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sav Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Well I must say Quanta, I use it from my very first html coding experience and I now love it. NOTE: Don't take the {SS} website as exemple, it's a website I took over, because one of our members, took a leave of absence for awhile. I'm working on the new Website right now.
