Found nice software for writing html that does inline styles and it's free (does ask for donations)

It's a great package. The person who started the wysiwyg editor Nvu stopped maintaining it after the main sponsor withdrew. Someone else maintained it for a couple of years as Kompozer but I havn't seen an update for a long time. Recently, the original programmer for Nvu starter a successor wysiwyg HTML editor called BlueGriffon. It is open source and available for Windows, Mac and even Linux. You can get BlueGriffon here.

Just spent about an hour messing with it. It's super nice, Gives you a choice of inline or head or stylesheet styles.

I like the way you can use the basic program for free and then pay for just the add-ons that you need.

It's a really nice piece of software. If it also did site management I would probably switch over all my html needs to it.

Are these things Inline CSS?

Table Header:

Code:

<table style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:20px; color:#000080; text-align:center;" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="960">

Text:

Code:

<span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-weight:bold; font-size:15px; color:red; text-align:center;">Text</span>

Yes that is inline style.

Both Golive and Dreamweaver can do inline styles but you have go though hoops to prevent these programs from writing styles into the head section. Their logic is that inline styles bulks up your code. Putting the styles in the head section cuts down on code since you can use the style many times with one write. This works great unless you want to paste only parts of the body code into another document.

I just changed my Linux distro from Linux Mint 13 Xfce to Xubuntu and noticed that Kompozer was no longer in the repositories of free software (likely because it is no longer updated). I've known about BlueGriffon for some time but not had a chance to use it yet. I guess now is the time. Your comments sound very encouraging.
