Hi All,

Anyone have good experience with a WYSIWYG HTML editor that outputs plain,= =20 clean HTML code?
Anything close to say LibreOffice Writer or MS Word that exports/outputs=20 regular HTML and not a thousand lines of trash to say =E2=80=9CHello World?= =E2=80=9D

Hi Michael
Kompozer If you are well versed with HTML Kedit Kwrite for code clean up.
Then I use konqueror to ftp upload to the site. Split view left/right (left is local - right is remote - memory trick) drag and drop. Kompozer can do it too but kong give me more control err, I mean kontrol.

Thanks for pointing out KompoZe; I wasn't familiar with this package.
Unfortunately, KompoZe seems to be moribund (Last Update 2016 according to SourceForge, and its website no longer exists). I tried to install it on my OpenSuSE system and it starts, then crashes after a second or so with a core dump. There seems to be no documentation beyond the man file.

Aye, it seems opensuse doesn't have it. pclos has it. I don't know if it's useful to you. Also, you can try installing Seamonkey,which has the same web editor as part of the suite. Assuming opensuse has it as a package.

I use openSUSE and SeaMonkey, but I wouldn't expect "clean" HTML code from it, or any other WYSIWYG editor. All my HTML editing is done with plain text editors.

I agree. The problem is with the WYSIWYG concept itself; the code generator doesn't have any intelligence, either syntactic or semantic, so when one is creating or maintaining a web page with such a package, it can't normalize the markup, it just keeps inserting More markup to make the final page look right. It's possibly worthwhile to use such a tool when all one needs is a very simple webpage, but then, it's just as easy to write the markup directly with a text editor.

Have you ever looked at "zim", the desktop wiki? Besides note taking etc. (what I use it for on a daily base) it can be used to generate static html sites. No extra stuff added, just the templates you defined. The zim homepage was created with that, too: http://zim-wiki.org/
