BlueGriffon - NG WYSIWYG Web Editor

, , , ...

End of last year i wrote a post about BlueGriffon a new WYSIWYG web editor and a successor of Kompozer and NVU.
Meanwhile the development goes on and BlueGriffon offers more CSS support, a project manager and a template manager. Besides that builds for Ubuntu are available too.

BlueGriffon - The next-generation WYSIWYG Web Editor

, , , ...

A while NVU and the unofficial further development branch Kompozer seems to be the only real WYSIWYG web editors on Linux. With BlueGriffon the company Disruptive Innovations (a W3C member too) brings fresh blood into this area. Disruptive Innovations are the developers of the older NVU too. Against the older WYSIWYG web editors BlueGriffon is based on Firefox. At the moment it is only available via SVN or as nightly for Windows.

KompoZer is a complete web authoring system that combines web file management, easy-to-use WYSIWYG web page editing and it is the unofficial bugfix release of NVU.
The new version ships with a new icon, some code cleanup and lots of improvements on the CSS editor.
