I am editing a local copy of a HTML document having links to
local text

documents and external WEB pages.
Without leaving the editor I wish to:
1. view the linked document.
2. optionally save a local copy of external document
indicating when
and from
where retrieved.
3. optionally do cut-n-paste from the linked document.
SeaMonkey's Composer is unsuitable as it cannot open a linked
document.
As my subject line hints, lack of graphics would be a plus.
It would be convenient is if some links were not visually
distinct
unless cursor was hovering their. I would also like to be able
to edit
the text displayed when hovering.
The end use would serve some function similar to a note
taking app
and/or a personal wiki. I've looked a Tomboy Notes an found it
unsuitable. I'm not familiar with wiki creation software.
Comments? Ideas? Pointers?
Thank you.
When I am editing Web pages I view the page using in a browser.
The page is on a local server. I open the source in a text
editor, EditPad Pro. I make changes, save the file, and refresh
the browser to see the changes.
The server I am running is WAMP on Windows. Since the pages are
being viewed as though they were online all links work.
No thanks. The first paragraph of
http://www.editpadpro.com/edithtml.html
explicitly states it does not meet my requirements. It costs
more and does
less than SeaMonkey's Composer.
SeaMonkey's Composer is broken and no longer being worked on. It
is a WYSIWYG product that produces uncompliant HTML code.
Try running your pages through:
<http://validator.w3.org/>
Chuckle! I've had a shortcut to that site on my desktop for years.
EditPad Pro is a text editor that includes context specific
formatting/highlighting for a variety of file types including
HTML, PHP, etc.
If you don't know enough about HTML to write a Web page in a text
editor you can still use the process I described.
Edit using Composer. Save the file. Toggle to your browser's
view of the page and refresh.
However, when using a WYSIWYG product like Composer don't rest
assured that just because you like what you see on your system in
your browser means that anyone else will see the same thing.
If I was in a production environment I would likely do something similar
with the addition of taking a formal short course in HTML. However, this
is a retiree's personal hobby project. I'm likely the only person who
will see the HTML version. If I produce anything useful, it will likely
appear as a plain-text USENET post.
Then why are you fooling around with HTML???
You'd likely get more appropriate answers if you'd be more specific
about what you're trying to do.
