Nvu 1.0

Originally published by "dbarker" on 2005-06-29 17:56:00Z

Nvu – The Complete Web Authoring System for Linux, Macintosh: Nvu made it to a 1.0 release earlier today. I’m a big fan of this software. It’s like an un-crapped-up version of FrontPage. And it’s free.

Yes, that's what we've been saying all along. It's good to see you're finally accepting your predicament.

>Nvu (pronounced N-view, for a "new view") makes managing a web site a snap. Now anyone can create web pages and manage a website with no technical expertise or knowledge of HTML. *sigh* ... just what we need. Something to make it easier for non-designers and administrative assistants everywhere to produce crappy web sites.

If implemented properly, software like this should be used for non-designers to update sites rather than produce them. I don't see this software being a bad thing in anyway since there's already quite a bit of software that exists for non-designers to produce sites. The difference is that this supposedly produces clean HTML.

I forgot the one thing that drives me nuts about Nvu: it creates a BR tag when you hit enter, not a P tag. In the options, you can set it to create a P tag *when it's already in a P tag*. So if you're in the middle of a paragraph, it will create another one. But what sucks is that a new page doesn't start the cursor out in a P tag, so you have to go into the source and manually create one so that when you hit enter, you get another one. And then when you're finished with a TABLE or UL or OL, you go back to *not* being in a P tag, and having to manually create one to make sure you get another one when you hit enter. It's the dumbest thing, in an otherwise great tool.
