Nvu 1.0 Released

Posted by timothy on from the shoring-up-walls dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Version 1.0 of Nvu has been released. Nvu is a standalone WYSIWYG HTML editor and a continuation of Mozilla Composer. As one would expect for a Mozilla-based product, it is fully Web standards-compliant and all the code will soon be available at mozilla.org. Nvu 1.0 can be downloaded for Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. Further details are available at MozillaZine. Slashdot reported on the first beta of Nvu way back in February 2003."

    I agree about WYSIWYG making messy code, that's why I finish off my pages with a pass through TidyHTML.

    It's a little more work but the results are very readable, not-messy HTML.

    Sorry 'bout that... the correct link is:
    http://tidy.sourceforge.net/

    Let me just add that TidyHTML reformats the code, strips out excessive tags, changes a few tags into CSS equivalents (if you allow it to do so), points out open tags and, what I like the most about it, it reindents the HTML to increase readibility.
