WYSIWYG editor

Happy $Hanuka, everyone! (or holiday of choice) I've been unable to google up anything worthwhile, so I figured I'd ask here. Are you aware of a WYSIWYG web editor for linux? Ideally one that does CSS as well as HTML. Thanks! Dan "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man stupid and blind i

Re: is there some ps-to-text extractor ?

Heimo, Not exactly what you wanted, but this might be useful, nonetheless. www.gobcl.com offers free PDF to text and vice versa, as well as some neat features like "extract tables from PDF," "convert PDF to HTML," and so on. Dan On 31 Jul 2003, Heimo Claasen wrote: > The "pdftotext" applicatio

You did just say "OSX," didn't you? OSX is, effectively, an excellent GUI shell attached to a BSD kernel. Anything you can read/use on a BSD box will be accessible, and as far as I remember, BSD supports Joliet. Dan On Thu, 24 Jul 2003, cr wrote: > Well, if it works for W2K, I expect it'll work

Well, I would never have tried, had I been able to start KDE in the first place. Incidentally, after a restart of the x-server, I am unable to return to KDE *boggle* I've no idea what I did before, but startkde returns a bunch of errors. switching to the KDE WM from GNOME tends to freeze the x-ses

Switching between KDE and GNOME

2003-06-30 Thread Dan Zlotnikov
Hello everyone, and good morning where appropriate. I'm currently running GNOME/Sawfish, but have decided to switch to KDE. This is proving to be somewhat beyond me. Can anyone point me in the right direction with some really short steps and using two-syllable words at most? Running Debian/Woody
