Re: [libreoffice-users] HTML Source
Hi :) I think the best html editors are simple text-editors. If it can identify and colour-code the coding and perhaps a couple other tricks then fantastic. More than that is going to go wrong somewhere.

Re: [libreoffice-users] HTML Source
I just tried this following the same instructions with an HTML file. Rather than saying it doesn't work, I would simply say that in LO 3.6.6.2 running under Win7, there is no option under the View menu to select HTML source. Is this a new feature found in LO 4 or is the online documentation wrong?

If you are using Firefox to view the HTML page then you can view the source by right clicking on the page and selecting View Page Source from the resulting menu.
