Three Linux HTML editors reviewed
Posted on April 23rd, 2008 at 7:48 amToday’s Web development tools offer capabilities that go beyond basic HTML editing. I compared three Web editors for Linux — Screem 0.16.1, Bluefish 1.0.7, and Quanta Plus 3.5.7 — to determine how well they handle today’s Web editing needs.
The
three programs are similar in many ways. All three are primarily code
editors with syntax highlighting, smart indentation, and other features
to make writing and editing code easier. Screem is tightly integrated
with the GNOME desktop environment, while Bluefish will run on KDE and
GNOME. Quanta Plus is a KDE application distributed with KDE. It has
visual editing features (what you see is what you get — WYSIWYG) in
addition to extensive code editing features. All three applications
have features for working with HTML, JavaScript, Cascading Style Sheets
(CSS), and other markup or scripting languages. Additionally, all three
have features for managing Web sites and projects, including CVS
support.
