HTML editor
I have a large web site in the testing stage, it's all been done by hand and I have no experience at all with any HTML editor.
Soon I'll have to make this site world readable, this will require a few changes like links etc. Can anyone suggest what I can use? Give a few hints? I'll probably need features like global search & replace. I started looking at Quanta but couldn't find any "strip HTML tags" function. I don't need flashy features. What I can also use is a translation option (for example from English to French or German etc) Thank you for your help. |
"Can anyone suggest what I can use?"
Like you I went from doing HTML by hand to using a special purpose HTML editor. I tried several HTML editors and settled on Bluefish. That was long enough in the past that I don't remember the pros and cons of the other HTML editors that I looked at. http://sourceforge.net/projects/bluefish/ ---------------------------- Steve Stites |
vi, kate, gedit

You could also take a look at nvu.

W3C Amaya
Amaya is a complete online web browsing and authoring environment and comes equipped with a WYSIWYG style of interface, similar to that of the most popular commercial browsers. With such an interface, users do not need to know the HTML or CSS languages. NVU NVU (pronounced N-view, for a "new view") makes managing a web site a snap. Now anyone can create web pages and manage a website with no technical expertise or knowledge of HTML. Quanta Plus. Quanta Plus is a web development tool for the GNU/Linux K Desktop Environment. Quanta is designed for quick web development and is rapidly becoming a mature editor with a number of great features and lies at the heart of the KDE Web Dev suite of tools. Bluefish Bluefish is a powerful editor for experienced web designers and programmers. Bluefish supports many programming and markup languages, but it focuses on editing dynamic and interactive websites. Mozilla Composer Mozilla's HTML editor keeps getting better with dynamic image and table resizing, quick insert and delete of table cells, improved CSS support, and support for positioned layers. For all your simple documents and website projects, Composer is all you need. SCREEM Screem is a web development environment. It's purpose is to increase productivity when constructing a site, by providing quick access to commonly used features. While it is written for use with the GNOME desktop environment in mind it does not specifically require you to be running it, just have the libraries installed. Unlike most other HTML editors SCREEM does not provide a WYSIWYG display of pages. Instead you are presented with the raw html source in its editor window. Scite ScitE is a GUI-based single-document editor which uses the Scintilla editor component. It rapidly styles most common programming languages with good control over how syntactic elements are displayed, and features folding for C++, C, Java, JavaScript, and Python. Styling of HTML also styles embedded scripts written in VBScript, Javascript, or Python. For Windows user I would recommend HTML Kit HTML-Kit is a full-featured, highly customizable and free development environment that can be used to create, edit, validate, preview and publish web pages and scripts. Despite its name and the light download size, HTML-Kit is a multi-purpose tool that has support for several scripting and programming languages. Over 400 free plugins are available for extending and customizing HTML-Kit to fit the way you work. You can use Tidy to clean up your code. Of course you can also edit by hand using any text editor. |
elvis (vi clone) has a cool html mode.

I still have one main question unanswered, I think I should have explained myself with a little more clarity.
What I mean by "global search & replace" is a search & replace in a whole site, for example I have over a hundred pages with links like: "http://192.168.1.13/this.prog" and that has to be replaced by: "http://www.mydomain/cgi-bin/this.prog" or "https://www.mydomain/cgi-bin/this.prog" The editors I have on my machine don't do it (emacs, gedit, quanta), and i will know much faster which does by asking you, if anyone knows, than by investigating all these browsers. A few years ago I used a Windows software named "Coffeecup" that did it very nicely. Thank you all for your valuable comments. |
Use perl. A command like
Code:
perl -pi.bak -e 's/oldstring/newstring/g' filenames Code:
find <startdir> -name "*.html" -print | xargs perl -pi.bak -e 's/oldstring/newstring/g' |
Thanks to eddiebaby1023.
It looks simpler than loading another browser. |
