Re: [libreoffice-users] Using LO Writer to edit HTML

Hi :)
Errr, it's better to use a simple text-editor rather than a word-processor
for this.

Word-processors tend to want to add extra coding or do other odd things.

I'm not sure which text-editor you get by default in PClinuxOS, it usually
depends more on the DE than the OS.  It's like that supermarket analogy
again.  PClinux OS is one of the supermarkets and the DE can often be
swapped out for another one.  If your DE is Gnome then your default
text-editor might well be GEdit, for KDE it's likely to be Kate.  Leafpad
is quite nice.  There's (in)famous ones such as Vi for command-line only.
There's a huge range.

Mostly in the status-bar at the bottom of the window it'll show the words
"Plain text".  You can click on that and choose a wide range of different
mark-up and programming languages.  Alternatively one of the menus, such as
"View" might be another way of getting to that drop-down.  The
colour-coding is cleverly calculated by the text-editor instead of being
coded into the contents.

Recently i found that GEdit has Extensions/plugins/addons and one helpfully
does some sort of predictive text or/and has a list of commonly used code
and selecting that kinda pastes the bit of code into document.  Kate and
the rest probably have similar features.

Tom :)
