If you are just starting out you need two HTML editors: A converter so you have something concrete in front you to work with. You need one HTML editor so you can add and correct things that are beyond the ability of your first editor.
MAX's HTML Beauty ++ Boasts of 28 Tag Designers or wizards, which are forms where you fill in the info and HTML editor generates the code, for almost every HTML tag, a Power Toolbar that contains almost all HTML tags, a Built-In Image Browser / Viewer with GIF Optimize function and ability to convert images to WBMP image format which is used by WAP-compatible mobile phones, Built-In JavaScript Beauty Scripts for rollovers and slideshows. My first HTML editor was similar to this one.
Alleycode is a good HTMl, CSS, PHP editor. The CSS style sheet added coolness to links on this page. If I was just starting out I'd choose MAX's over this one, because it has more Wizards to assist you and has a few neat Java effects.
What You See Is What You Get editors once you find a good one is an invaluable tool. Some of the editors out there give faulty code, others lack the ability to re-edit and update your web document. The editors listed below passed both tests.
Amaya a WYSIWYG editor for those who want to learn XHTL.
Nvu is the WYSIWYG editor I searched for back in '99 when I started to educate myself in the mysterious language of HTML. Well almost. It took much longer for it to crash and add errors than other WYSIWYG editors. KompoZer got rid of some more of the bugs and is the continuation of NV2. Either one can get you started learning the basics HTML.
SeaMonkey a browser based on FireFox has a WYSIWYG editor included in its arsenal of tools called Composer, which supports dynamic image and table resizing, quick insert and delete of table cells, improved CSS support, and support for positioned layers might be the answer. In the summer of 2009 I started to test it.
If after trying all this you still fill flabbergasted go one step simpler:
Text 2 Web might be the program to get you started. You can convert your text document to HTML code. One button link back to Text 2 Web is generated. So you have an example to start from. You still may have to use HTML help sites to figure out how to do what you want with graphics and links, but at least you have something in front of you that you can call your own that can be opened in a HTML editor and is valid HTML code.
Ten years later, I still use HTML converters to quickly publish short stories and poems for the Northside Writers' Over Coffee onto the Internet.
txt2tags a text converter that allows you to change a txt file into a HTML or XHTML file. Also converts other files not used on the web like LaTeX.
Occasionally, I find a magazine looking for material that I've covered somewhere on my website and want to re-work the content slanting it towards a publisher.
Overzone Software makes a series of free converters under the heading of Code Export. The RFT, Doc and HTML converters all do a fine job of quickly changing what you highlighted and copied to clipboard into an editable document for your word processor. doc_converter gives more specifications on the differences between the free converters than the home page.
Although many of the above HTML editors include a spell checker, many do not.
Global Spell Checker a little program that allows you to use MS Word's spell check on any program if you already use MS Word.
Filezilla FTP uploader for beginners and advanced users.
Buttons, backgrounds, cool text
effects, photo's all use different freeware tools.
The more I use the Internet the more junk mail from companies I delete from my inbox. Here are some tools to help slow down your e-mail address on your website being the cause of still more junk mail. All of them are easy to use. They are arranged below according to the number of options if any you want to use with your e-mail link. You probably only need one program. These are the ones I have tried and how they differ.
E-Cloaker converts the characters of e-mail addresses and text into browser-readable Unicode.
HTML E-Mail Address Encrypter This one gives the webmaster a choice of converting characters into it's decimal numeral reference encrypted form or using JavaScript. This one lets you create a subject line in your e-mail and a mouse over text on your status bar, so this is my favorite one.
It took a day and a half to cloak all the e-mail addresses on all three of my web sites. Hopefully, I cut off the source of the problem and now all I must do is stop the spammers who already have my e-mail address and are using it without mercy.
PDF files are uneditable books, manuals, manuscripts. Tax forms from the IRS are distributed as PDF files. E-books can be a manual or a "book". Download and browse E-books from Volz Packaging company.
Book Designer Program for the editing, reading and preparing the electronic books for the novices and for the experienced users.
Bullzip Save your file to PDF via print to a PDF document from any Microsoft Windows application.
Cool PDF Many useful freeware offerings including Tweak PDF, PDF Watermark Creator, PDF Thumbnail Generator.
PrimoPDF Like Bullzip. Create PDF output optmized for print, screen, ebook, or prepress.
SomePDF.com PDF converters. The one I needed was PDF to HTML because one of our editors for Over Coffee layed out an issue using Word Perfect and I've spent years trying to get his edition web-ready. The Plan is to use BullZip or Primo to convert the WP doc to PDF and this converter to share the authors work on-line.
