[Web4lib] Dreamweaver 8 vs Microsoft Expression Web (Nvu)

[Dobbs, Aaron]

If you  /*never*/  look at the code behind the page, Nvu is quite nice.


However, if you're like me & like to nest your divs or indent other
semi-static content with a text editor, Nvu completely whacks any
formatting out of the code view on edited pages.  

This is the major reason I do not encourage Nvu here at MPOW.

PS If you know how to keep Nvu from doing this, I would dearly love to
know!

Have you considered Nvu? I'm not an expert, but Nvu seems to be
comparable
to FrontPage and Dreamweaver, except that it is free. From the Nvu site:

Question: Is Nvu a clone of Microsoft's FrontPage and/or Macromedia's
Dreamweaver?


Answer: FrontPage and Dreamweaver are popular HTML editors for MS
Windows.
These programs have become popular because they make web design
extremely
easy, even for non-technical people. Nvu is not an exact clone of either
of
these products, but it does contain many of the same easy-to-use
features
which makes these programs so popular.Users familiar with either of
these
two products will feel right at home using Nvu.
