I'm looking for a "HTML Viewer/Editor" *NOT* a browser.
The closest I've seen is the Composer portion of SeaMonkey.
The pages I'm interested in viewing/editing are:
- Strictly local
- HTML 4 [ I know of NO desired feature introduced by HTML5]
- No JavaScript
- Capability to view image(s) retrieved from web.
NO capability to render a web page or Publish to web location
- use of validator.w3.org will be external
Some of this is imprecise, I'm still refining my goals.
Suggested stand alone software?
TIA
I'm assuming that you know that support for the Seamonkey
composer was dropped years ago.
Yes ;) Actually, I ask as a side effect of that.
Some !%$!$^% wanted to eliminate it just because it was not the
latest gegaw laden doodad. [who me? opinionated?]
I'm looking for something that could described
X is to licensed version of BlueGriffon as
Pluma is to Libre Office Suite.
Actually a rather plain HTML 4 viewer and Pluma could be quite
viable. Know of any bare bones viewers.
Actually I've noticed mention of new Tcl/Tk features that, though
overkill for this application, may be interesting for due to an
extremely unrelated project.
To me, one of the nice things
about it is that because it's bundled, if I'm looking at an HTML
page in Seamonkey, I can press CTRL-E, and edit immediately.
That's great for the local documents that I maintain in HTML.
However, the tradeoff is that the composer produces relatively
sloppy HTML. I have found that for stuff that I distribute, it's
generally necessary to clean up the HTML, using a tool such as Tidy.
There's a couple of stand-alone projects that are Gecko based:
- Kompozer (http://www.kompozer.net/). I believe that this one
derived from the Seamonkey Composer. I haven't checked the HTML
closely, but it's likely to be as sloppy. Kompozer is also out
of development -- the last release was 0.8.3b, in early 2010.
- Nvu, which is even older than Kompozer, and docs indicate that
Kompozer is derived from Nvu. The only reason that I mention it
here is that if you see reference to that name, you should ignore
it.
- BlueGriffon (http://www.bluegriffon.org/) seems to have taken
the bulk of Mozilla-centric developer attention. There's a free
version, but there's also licensed versions with additional
capacities.
For what I need, I'm content with Kompozer -- from the little
bits of playing I've done with BlueGriffon, I don't need the
extra capacities, and coming from Seamonkey, there's several
quirks in the BlueGriffon UI, which I find to be clumsy. I
haven't checked to see if it produces cleaner HTML.
