HTML Writing Question

Post by Kitsune »

I create documents which I post on my website using a fairly old word processor.
It leaves the page in a very raw format when I convert to HTML and use an old copy of Netscape to reformat the page (for example it changes "<Strong>" to "<b>") and then use notepad to complete the work (Add graphics, additional coding, and that sort of thing)

Is there any other program which others use to reformat pages in the same manner as I use Netscape.

Hotdog might do it
I've been asked why I still follow a few of the people I know on Facebook with 'interesting political habits and view points'.

It's so when they comment on or approve of something, I know what pages to block/what not to vote for.

What is 'a very raw format'? Rich text? Plain text?

Open Office is free, can load virtually anything (as of v3.0) and has a fairly good HTML output capability. It's a full featured office suite though and thus fairly heavyweight. There are hundreds if not thousands of freeware file format convertors out there but I tend to just download them and try them as needed instead of keeping them around. I can't recommend one for HTML because I always write that directly in jEdit (I finally switched from the venerable Programmers File Editor this year :) ).

I always use notepad++ but then my websites tend to be php / python...
