Frontpage doesn't like TT tags

[anphanax]

Thank god I have netscape's composer on my computer(really, I was writing out all my HTML code in NOTEPAD). It has appeared to screw up the spacing in the HTML code itself when opened in notepad, but at least I can use the <TT> tag... This issue with Microsoft also exists in frontpage express 4.x from like 1995\96.. Microsoft has been really quick to add support. I can tell how much they care. I'm just a little annoyed with frontpage.. Doesn't seem like I can trust it to do what I want it to do.

VIM is by far the best HTML editor.

Frontpage, Notepad...are you by chance using Microsoft Window$?  Shame on you.  Time for a change.

V 0.8.7

VIM doesn't have a GUI to aide in creating webpages does it? Just curious because I am working on my webpage and I just started learning html so I do know the code for all the functions yet and dreamweaver seems a little complicated for a newb such as myself. Do you have any recommendations for a program that rivals FrontPage? Open Source perhaps? TIA

VIM's syntax highlighting is the only aid I need for creating web pages.

well as to why frontpage doesn't support tt tags, it's because it is actually proprietary netscape extension markup, is it not? or has it been accepted in later versions of html? or am i stupid?

and anphanax, get mozilla composer and openoffice. they are both excellent and free WYSIWYG html editors. both run in windows too, if you really want to continue using that moronic excuse for a system.

engineer, i suggest almost the same thing for you. Use mozilla composer (this just means start up mozilla and select 'composer' from the 'tools' menu i think it is) it is like the dreamweaver part of dreamweaver with all the ultradev stuff stripped away. Once you get used to that (took me about a week) then move onto quanta and bluefish. That's my advice.

There are many great HTML references on the net. I posted several of them here in another thread, you might want to search. I would rather have a reference and do my coding in VIM than having a GUI getting in my way and spitting out crappy code. But Quanta Plus is a graphical web site design tool. There was a thread just last night where we went through this. Quanta Plus comes with RedHat 8.0 and probably other distros. Here is the Quanta link:

I guess I got a little ahead of myself I just downloaded Max'sBeauty (sp) and am looking at quanta now, I am the same way as you, even though I don't know too much html yet I want to learn and I have been using the webdesign programs to aid me when I couldn't figure out the code or didn't want to do a Google search. Doing the code by hand and using the program as a reference helps me to learn html better. Thanks for the info.

 More or less like frontpage.

I love bluefish.

Fuck all yer lovly flashy GUI editors with ther fuckin WYSIWYG because What you see is not what you get when you view the site in Lynx or Links is it.

WYSIWYG's are good for making sites that dont work in other browsers!

VIM IS TEH l33t'st editor in teh whole fucking earth!

[Calum]

bluefish and quanta are not wysiwyg or gui editors, they are XWindows text editors with a lot of fancy 'preview in browser' and 'coulour highlighting' stuff. Screem tries to be the best of both, but is unstable on my computer, so it can leave.

[Kintaro]

I only read the first few mentioned...  VIM IS LEET!

[Bazoukas]

BTW html is easy, why would you need a program to do all the things for you?
