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

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

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.
