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."

  1. Messy WYSIWYG by niskel · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Personally, I have always found WYSIWYG editors to produce very messy code. It's refreshing to hear that Nvu actually supports standards, but like most other WYSIWYG editors, it's produced code looks a bit messy. I think I may just be a stickler for good looking code but maybe because it's hard to add PHP and other such code when it's hard to navigate the initial generated code. Vim is still my editor of choice :)

      Yeah, I usually use NVU to build a base page, but then I used jed to fix up the code so it works and looks perfectly.

      If both NVu and tidyHTML are open source, then can't they be integrated? e.g. automatically tidy the page before saving. The tidy project page even says "a library form of Tidy has been created to make it easier to incorporate Tidy into other software."

  2. PHP by Beuno · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Now, if only Glazman would give up fighting against PHP and make is useable enough for us web developers. (You can't open PHP files in Linux unless you do it VIA FTP or you stand on your left foot while holding your nose)
    Although for those who still only develope plain HTML it's a great app.

    What you see is what you get ...

    But that does not apply to someone else with a different browser, different resolution and color depth.
