Hi Tim,

I am trying to use Writer for HTML pages.

Inside LibreOffice you have the choice:
(1)Using Writer/Web
(2)Using Writer and save as to HTML
(3)Using Writer and export to XHTML.
All three have a lot of problems.

Which way do you use?

I open an HTML file.
Edit it for content.
Then save it to the original HTML file name.


I use some specific style sheet options.

Every time I add the "a:hover" option to the page's style system.

<style type="text/css">
        p { color: #000000 }
        td p { color: #000000 }

        a:link {--------
        a:visited {--------

        a:hover {-------

    </style>

Every time I add "a:hover" to this part of the page, after I save the
file, it no longer is listed anymore.

I do have a default "stylesheet.css" and Writer does not like to keep
that as well.

Then you are likely using Writer/Web. You have to stick with the text LibreOffice generates, no chance to make own extensions.

I thought the a:hover was a standard style ID with CSS.

Any good way to use Writer as a web page editor and not have every style
you need removed when it is saved?

No.

That was the default declaimer of OpenOffice.org, "Yes, it's a bug but unfortunately we have no ressource available to fix or improve the HTML component, so that we only can fix crashes and huge regressions."


And the situation has not changed in LibreOffice. There are still users like you, who want such component. So if someone has the skills and the time to improve it, go on.

I think, you should write your HTML pages in an editor, which has some tools for that. You can still open the pages in LibreOffice to use the language tools, in case the editor has no support for that.

Kind regards
Regina

The WYSIWYG editor for HTML pages, that I use to use, no longer works with the upgraded GUI framework in Ubuntu beyond 14.04[?]. It was "Kompozer" and I really miss it.

So, I have been trying various options to create and modify web pages, but it is not as easy as I thought it would.

I use "Kate" and "Bluegriffon" for seeing the page's source code, and an external browser for checking if the changes work. They did not have the spell checking and other options that a WYSIWYG has. Bluegriffen does have a browser view, but it is not the easiest system to use. I was hoping the Writer/Web would work, but it keeps changing the style commands that it is defined before Writer opened it.

If other Linux users has some easy to use WYSIWYG editor, let me know.

It has been a long time since I use much HTML/CSS coding. It is just Use it or Lose it. I use to create web pages with only a browser and a text editor. Now I have to fight bad memory and the web page editing systems to get what I want.
