Free tools to create HTML files for Linux
I have linux centos 5.3. I am in the business of building a website, but I don't know how to write HTML. I need a tool to convert text to html. I found many tools on google that can help in creating html pages, but they are all for windows. Can anyone suggest me any similar tool for Linux system.
I think Nvu is / has long been closed for WYSIWYG HTML editor on linux, now also KompoZer . There used to be a Mozilla web editor, but I don't think it's still available.
But try to teach yourself at least some HTML , the basics are not hard and useful, even if you don't plan on typing a lot of it.
i really recommend you learn HTML if you want to write web pages.
if you want to convert text to plain HTML there are some other markup languages for example. markdown
I am using a perl script I found from FTLS.org . Hope this helps you.
This might be explicit, but I think it's still useful to indicate that HTML ARE files contain HTML files.
So Octopus provides a link to a useful Perl script that replaces specific characters with HTML objects and allows text to surround <PRE> tags. This will be useful if your HTML pages are mostly text.
And knittl invites you to learn HTML. I tend to agree, because then you can create HTML with any text editor.
But eLZahR offers an HTML editor with WYSIWYG functionality if you can find one to make it a little easier.
The choice is yours. Once again, study HTML. Don't rely entirely on fancy frames.
Yo can use a WYSIWYG editor like Dreamweaver or a content manager like Wordpress. Check out these lists (make sure they are compatible with your SO):
HTML editors (get anyone with a WYSIWYG editor and a free / open source license). I would recommend Kompozer to you.
Content management systems (get free ones only). I think this is the best option because html editors are not very useful when you have a minimum amount of information.
At any time, I would encourage you to learn HTML. It's very simple and it will help you a lot.
