Yes, a text editor helps for some editing of an HTML file. Yet, for
some work I need a WYSIWYG editor for the look and feel of the web document.
I use Kate [Ubuntu based Linux Mint] for the text editor. I use it for
the Find/Replace option to change 91 links from [say] "4.3.3.2_" to
"4.3.4.1_". That takes too much time in a WYSIWYG editor, or at least
the ones I have used.
Currently I use Kompozer, but when I upgrade from Mint 16 to 17 [14.04
based] and beyond, the graphical display methods do not like the
upgraded version that Ubuntu 14.04/14.10 now uses. So I will be looking
for a different DEDICATED web page editor.
Yes, Writer can do the HTML editing, but I would prefer a WYSIWYG editor
that was created specifically for web page editing and hopefully with
error checking options.

Hi Kolbjoern
Thanks for the reply.
The document already exists - so I'm selecting 'File Open', I change
the File Type to 'HTML Document (Writer)' and select my file. It then
opens in "view" mode - So how do I get to the code to edit it??
I just tried it again, and I think I see your problem. I did exactly
as you did, and the "HTML source" option did not appear on the View
menu. I think the problem is that, when opening the file, you are
changing the File Type to "HTML Document (Writer)." When you do that,
all you get is a WYSIWYG display along with no HTML source option. So,
I tried it again, but instead of changing the file type to "HTML
Document (Writer)" I kept it at "All types." Then when I opened an
HTML file, I saw the source code instead of the WYSIWYG display.
Not sure if this is intended behavior or a bug.
(All this said, I agree with Tom that I would use a regular text
editor to edit HTML code. Gedit works nicely on my Ubuntu machine.)

Hi All
Can I get some help on this please??
I have read about, and looked-up, the possibility of editing HTML
documents in Writer but can not get it to work!!
No matter what I do I can not fine 'HTML Mode' or 'View HTML' as
talked about ion the help files.
I can load my document but can not get at the HTML code.
What am I missing or doing wrong??
I'm using LO 4.3 on PClinuxOS (latest)
Thanks for any help.
