Replacement for Seamonkey Composer?

[CptKrf]

I am looking for a replacement for Seamonkey composer on Linux. I use it to write HTML manuals and notebooks (not for publication, just my own use), and does not need any bells and whistles. Just ordinary editor functions plus links and anchors. I have used it for years for cataloging all the tips and hints and workarounds on software and projects.

It is WYSIWYG and very easy to use to make basic HTML, but while it still works pretty well on MacOS (if you can bypass the new security walls) but is coming apart on Linux. Badly supported now, and close to being abandoned it would seem. Even the official Debian website says "Not really recommended but if you really, really want it, do this. ...and this and this and this. Sure enough, I got it installed, but this and that doesn't work, stuff is grayed out, etc.

From my searching, there are many HTML editors, but none besides SeaMonkey that are WYSIWYG. I don't really want to write in raw HTML, then save to look at what I made in a browser - gave that up years ago.

Or... Suggestions for making a notebook with links?

Thanks all.

Sadly, BlueGriffon is dead. You should still be able to find and use it but it's dead.

However, VSCode/VSCodium has a live preview and handles HTML well enough. There are no good WYSIWYG HTML editors for Linux, in my experience. It has been a few years but I tried all of them in hopes of finding something good. I think it's probably because almost nobody writes pure HTML these days, thus there's a lack of interest.

BlueGriffon was 'good enough' for what was out there.

Of course, my personal needs may be different.

LibreOffice provides a simple WYSWIG editor for HTML files. You can also export web pages from LibreOffice components using the Web Wizard. Check this page.

Thanks muchly, Tomedi. Never thought to look at LO. It will be like using a shotgun to kill a bug, but I quickly made an anchored hyperlink in the same document and it worked. Going to take some learning process, but it might do the job. I don't need professional output, just my notes and tips that I can click on and find.

Thanks again.

I am not in touch with what you are using...but take a peek at Zim Desktop Wiki
