Koffice vs. Openoffice

(Openoffice has performance issues, but for functionality/features, it's pretty much unmatched in the *nix office suite world)

You're referring to my signature?

Hmm, well, the bit about the "1337 5p34k" is part of my smartassed sense of humor, but the other stuff is just helpful hints which can help people find their answers immediately, reduce repetitive threads in the forum, improve forum search performance, and to help people come up to speed in their netiquette skills. My signature is not directed at you in particular - just the lazy folks out there who refuse to search or do any of their own homework, and expect to be spoon-fed every single morsel despite their questions having been answered 18,937,361 times on this board (and other places) already - often just two posts from the top!

"1337 5p34k" = 1ee7speak (only partially decrypted) which is why it was there in the first place. Some people like using geeky abbreviations etc, but it only confuses your average user.

The ultimate for me was getting dreamweaver MX and Frontpage from XP office to work with Wine. Get "CrossOver" from Codeweavers and you'll be able to install either one for your HTML work.

Almost completely satisfied with my Suse system. I don't use windows anymore anyway but I still hate some of the shortfalls Suse has with html editors. Wine is just a stop gap for me. Check out Quanta too for code work.

Who does HTML work in Frontpage? If you like sloppy HTML, Frontpage is for you. For everyone else, there are other editors. Frontpage should be either rewritten from scratch or just be discontinued altogether. It generates the worst HTML I have ever seen - and this includes the M$ Word "print to HTML" filter.

I think it was an attempt to make HTML proprietary to MS Frontpage & IE

I use it to make tables and forms then copy the html out and put it into my templates all nice and neat. So it has it's uses.

Someone admitted to using FrontPage WILLINGLY and voluntarily on LQ? Wow. And it was paired with D-MX? As what? It's one-legged no-armed blind great grandpa of a sidekick?

Translation: if you want to use an "easy program" to make html pages that's fine, but if you think Frontpage is 'easy' (well it may be if you learn how to use it) it certainly isn't very clean, and the result doesn't always work the way it should. It's a very messy solution and you don't have to know a great deal about html to realise that. It's about the worst editor I've ever tried as far as results are concerned.
