“IBM’s HomePage Builder For Linux (previously known as Top Page)
is a powerful WYSIWYG HTML generator. It’s one of the few
point-and-click editors commercially available for Linux.. So lets
review it.”

“HomePage Builder for Linux seems to be a pretty powerful yet
basic WYSIWYG generator. IBM has ported the Windows version to the
Linux platform using a modified version of Wine (can emulate
certain Windows applications in XFree86).”

In a lot of ways this program is much more advanced than
most WYSIWYG HTML editors currently available for Linux (which
isn’t a very long list).
HomePage Builder contains many
helpful features that surprised me at first.. A HTML Syntax
Checker, File Transfer which does NOT use FrontPage, WebArt
designer, Web Animator, and a Style Sheet Manager, all very
cool.”
