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. No such thing as WYSIWYG by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The design of a web page changes depending on all sorts of different circumstances.

    • The size of the monitor
    • The resolution of the display
    • The font size of the user
    • The size of the window
    • Whether or not the user has a sidebar open
    • What toolbars the user has installed
    • Various other browser settings
    • Platform/browser-specific issues (e.g. form control appearance)

    The term "WYSIWYG" simply doesn't apply to the web. The web is a fluid medium and web pages change in appearance under varying circumstances without any change to the code. The term "WYSIWYG" applies to paper. The web is not paper.
