Amiga HTML editors - what do you use?

[Nick]

I used GoldED to create the initial version of my website. It had been years since I had done
any html and the only thing I could remember was that "<" go around commands. Though I do want to do
a rewrite, as I know I could do better now. I`m pleased with it, but it does need redoing. The
webworld plug in is so helpful. For the beginner or the pro. You have a list of pages, images etc on
the right of the window. Useful!

Hi,

For any editing and any platform, I use Vim.
And for those that say it isn't an amiga program, well, development for Vim started on Amiga.
It takes a while getting into it, but after that, it's all you'll ever need.
Best of all, it's free :-)

I'm WebPlug's No. 1 fan, I hate HTML without it, it's a shame the author left the amiga a couple of years ago.  It makes writing good HTML easy, and it's multiple document handling means that it's easy to work on a whole site in one go.  

I run it on it's own screen (1024*768) with all the various toolbar windows around the edge for maximum efficiency.  

The only problems are a couple of bugs in the 2.0Beta and the syntax hilighing is a bit basic, although as it is a plugin type system someone could always make a better one.

It's sad that it's often overlooked. A real hidden gem (and in my top ten most wanted OS4 apps.)  :-D

I set up basic page designs using Symantec Visual Page on my Win-DOHS laptop PeeCee.  Then I transfer to Amiga and hand edit with GoldEd.  I regret ever paying the shareware fee for MetalWeb.  It crashes all over the place.

I've tried a few different ones, but I always come back to CygnusED with a wackload of macros I put into it.

Its fantastic.

@ ikir,
I tried WebPlug v1.45 and 2.0beta.  1.45 crashes on my machine, and 2.0beta won't even start up.  Oh well.

That's a shame, you really don't know what you're missing out on. :-(

I use 2.0beta without any problems (there are a couple of bugs, but they're easy to avoid, not bad for a beta)

Why would you use an HTML editor?  Any text editor is fine for me.

GoldED with its Webworld mode is a good code-oriented html editor. News sites like amiga-news.de and Czech Amiga News are made with it. Here are some advantages:

- html is checked (tidy-based) and optionally corrected. Tidy runs as plug-in inside editor windows (see screenshot), you can click on reported errors and are directly moved to the problematic line.
- files of site appear in the explorer (next to the text, see screenshot), just click to insert a link to another page or to an image
- tags can be edited via dialogs (e.g. move cursor over , click a button, and a dialog opens to set attributes for font tag).
- preconfigured help
- send page to browser with click
- syntax highlighting for HTML, and, with php parser from Philippe, for Javascript, php, asp.
- tabbed toolbar to insert a lot of things with a mouseclick
- templates to get started quickly
-  table to insert entities like (& )
- can convert "äöü", euro etc. to iso entities and back with a single mouseclick
- automatically inserts size information for all gif/jpg/png images

Btw, for html pages, GoldED Studio AIX is  free (because the trial version has a 1000 lines limit and thag should be enough for html).

PS: if you are used to CED, also download face/on. This is a themes installer for GoldED which can install a CygnusED Professional 4 menu-lookalike (and the keyboard configuration that goes with it).

Download: face/on

Thanks, Yea, that sounds fine. I'm just use to debugging and like something with line numbers.

Have you or anyone, tried Amiga Apache?

I have. It's fairly stable on my machines. I've ran it on both an 040 and 060 machine with out many problems.
