VI is far superior, for editing (creating and modifying) HTML files, to
using "Open Office".
VI does not insert code, change fonts, etc, which "Open Office" does.
What kind of editor, when creating a blank paragraph
(
<P><BR><BR>
</P>
)
, insists that a language has to specified for the paragraph, AND,
insists that EVERY paragraph in the file, has to include a language
specification? "Open Office"!
(
<P LANG="en-GB"><BR><BR>
</P>
)
'Open Office" obviously has to specify what language, a blank paragraph,
is in, or, paragraph containing text, for EVERY paragraph.
"This blank line is in British English, and is most definitely not in
USA English!"
and
"This paragraph is in British English, which is different to the
language of the previous paragaph, and all other paragraphs in this
document, which are in British English!"
And, it insists on insering the completely superfluous line, at the
start of the body;
"<BODY LANG="en-US" DIR="LTR">",
which it promptly ignores, and changes the language for EVERY paragraph
in the file.
And, when does it get off inserting crap like
"<P LANG="en-GB" STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm">",
when I have typed just
"<P>",
or, when the file being edited, had just
"<P>"?
Oh, and, yes, let's have an example of it corrupting the formatting,
when it inserts
"<P LANG="en-GB" ALIGN=LEFT STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm"><FONT
FACE="Bitstream Vera Sans, sans-serif"><FONT SIZE=3>"
at the start of EVERY paragraph in another document.
Whoever wrote this software, apparently has a thing about margins and
bottoms, and, malicious code insertion.
If I type into an HTML code file,
<P>
then I expect that all that will be there, is
<P>
not some inserted code that I did not authorise.
Whilst using VI to edit HTML files, may be a bit slower, it is far more
reliable, is safer, and, it does not corrupt the files, by maliciously
inserting code and unauthorisedly changing formatting, which "Open
Office" does.
THAT is what VI has to do with "anything regarding OOo"ps.
VI does not corrupt HTML files, as OOops does, and therefore, with the
"features" of OOops, VI is required to be used, instead of OOops writer,
to edit HTML files, as VI allows control over what actually goes into
the files, when the files are being edited.
