Amaya (https://www.w3.org/Amaya/) is another. Altho the last release was 2012 so not terribly current, It supports HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0, XHTML Basic, XHTML 1.1, HTTP 1.1, MathML 2.0, many CSS 2 features, and SVG. > For what I need, I'm content with Kompozer -- from the little bits of > playing I've done with BlueGriffon, I don't need the extra capacities, > and coming from Seamonkey, there's several quirks in the BlueGriffon UI, > which I find to be clumsy.
