Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Multiple Forms In HTML

BlueFish is a strange WYSIWYG editor.  If I remember, you can edit HTML in one window or pane while 
watching the results in another, but I may misremember.  I don’t know why they don’t just go all 
the way and allow straight WYSIWYG editing.

I’ll check on TinyMCE.  I don’t think I had found that one.

I’ve considered Dreamweaver.  If it weren’t monthly subscription based, I might spring for it once, 
but I’ve also tangled with fixing sites people have done in Dreamweaver and found just a huge mess 
of extra Javascript and HTML stuff that just wasn’t needed.  I understand - it’s all done in 
templates and as interconnecting blocks and they have to make sure it all works together, but when 
you get to editing it directly, it’s no fun.

The broader context?  My fiancée and I are looking for land to buy to build a house on.  We want 
acreage and a place where it can be quiet and wooded.  To make it short, we’ve looked at all 
properties for sale in the past year and a half, and now we’re searching for properties that are 
owned but don’t have anyone living on them.  I’ve used GIS info and tax records.  (I retired early 
from a business I ran based on data mining, so that was easy to sift through.)  That leaves 1,200 
sites that meet the numerical requirements, so I’m running a mini-website on my MacMini server 
that’ll let us see the Google Map images of the lots (with boundaries drawn over the maps) and let 
us page through them and reject a lot quickly.  (As opposed to taking info and having to type it 
into Google Earth or Google Maps one at a time.)

I haven’t done HTML work in a few years, but it’s one of those things that comes up ever now and 
then.

The site is made up of 4 web pages with changing content and an approximately 1,000 line Python 
wsgi script.

Thanks for the other suggestions.  I’ll definitely look into TinyMCE and see what that has.
