[ubuntu-uk] Any recommendations for an xhtml editor

[kpb]

Hello Sean

I was replying to Alan Lord, who was suggesting direct editing of xhtml markup. Do you not see the replies in threaded mode? I suggested using a 'light' markup with script based conversion to html and my point was that this reduces the silly errors you get from direct markup.

I do not generally use visual editors, although the page at

http://sohcahtoa.org.uk/pages/probability-vocabulary-and-basics.html

was produced using OpenOffice directly.

cheers
