ShowMeLinux.com: Bluefish HTML Editor Review

[ Thanks to Rico Sancheza and Moe for this link. ]

“Bluefish is an HTML editor and aide for webmasters who want
to save a few keystrokes. It is not a WYSIWYG editor
, so don’t
expect to be able to drag and drop your .gif files into it, but it
has many useful tools that can make your life easier if you already
have some knowledge of the coding side of web design. If web design
is like a theatre production, bluefish is like having a magic box
of props and tools that doesn’t look like much, but in the magic of
the theatre the mundane can be transformed into the fantastic.
Bluefish provides the elements in the form of HTML tags; all you
need is the know-how and the creativity.”

“One of the best things about bluefish is its great
layout.
Navigation to the various features such as fonts,
tables, frames, forms, lists, CSS and WML is intuitive and simple,
since the application is laid out like a recipe book, with
different ingredients all having their own tabs for easy
access.”

“More than standard tags (but fast becoming standard), Bluefish
also inserts cascading style sheet tags, as well as WML. There are
also basic form tools. You can also insert tags for radio buttons,
check boxes, option buttons, and the rest, as well as frames,
lists, image maps, embedding, etc. Any tags you’ll ever need to
design a simple to sophisticated web page. PHP, SSI, Java Script,
and more!”
