As you say, Quanta is easily the best there is for Linux. I'm afraid I would strongly recommend *not* using Nvu. It produces awful markup. It tends to use spans for everything, but doesn't delete them correctly if you change the format (eg from bold to italic). You then end up with nested spans which produce unexpected visual results, and to fix this you have to go into the markup anyway. I suggested Nvu to my son for a school project, but he got so frustrated with "why does this heading look different from that one, when I've told them both to be H1?" that I told him I would go through the markup and tidy it up for him. It took 3 hours to tidy up 4 or 5 pages, the markup was so awful. So never again! YMMV, of course. -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.kyfieithu.co.uk - KDE yn Gymraeg www.eurfa.org.uk - Geiriadur rhydd i'r Gymraeg www.rhedadur.org.uk - Rhedeg berfau Cymraeg www.cymrux.org.uk - Linux Cymraeg ar un CD -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
