Glad I've joined this group! Thank you all for your useful replies!
@ olbigtenor: ypu almost convinced met to overcome my 10 years-old fear of
compiling... that long ago a good friend also persuaded me to start
compiling...Long story short: I never succeeded. But I knew much less about
Linux back then. I've bookmarked your link, that's a start..Writing html is
easy, trust me... I even run a little website about it. I don't want to spam
this forum, but if you're interested, let me know how I can send you a link to
it.
@ Emil Axelsson: That looks like a very good solution. I installed the Firefox
add-on , but could not yet get the background service running. The add-on told
me to use "Guard livereload" for my OS, until LiveReload 2 becomes available
for it. Did not get any further.
@ Lex Trotman,: yes "webhelper" was the name. Thank you also for the detailed
background history.
> That PR has bitrotted and nobody has updated it, contributions are welcome.
I'm not so sure you would welcome my contribution ;)
@ Little Girl: Yes, it's indeed a glorious feature. I too discovered it not too
long ago. But I stopped using it when I saw that each 'execute' forced a new
browser tab to open, to display the latest version of your work. Or did you
find a workaround for this?( 'execute' doing its work in the 1 opened browser
tab? ) Thank You!
