WebEditor 2006 Tips Goodbye HTML Indent! When you install Namo WebEditor on a new computer, then edit text in the WYSIWYG editor, you might notice that the HTML code gets indented. If you don't want your code indented, you might think that unchecking Reformat HTML Code under the Save tab in Preferences might fix that, but it won't. You have to leave it checked, click on the HTML Formatting Options button and uncheck Indent, click OK, then Apply, then uncheck Reformat HTML Code, then click Apply again and now your HTML code will no longer be indented when you use the WYSIWYG editor.
Time Saver If you work on normal HTML pages and you want to save a little time, instead of opening a page by clicking on Open under the File menu, just keep the Publish Window open and double click on a local file there. That way the file will already be highlighted and ready to upload when you are finished editing it. When you're done, just connect, highlight the correct remote site folder, right click on the highlighted local file and select Upload. I also do this for opening multiple files by using the mouse and Shift key to highlight files that are in a row or the mouse and Ctrl key for scattered files. Using the Publish Window for opening and uploading files has saved me a lot of time and extra clicking.
Bye Bye SPAN Many WYSIWYG editors stuff unnecessary SPAN code into web pages. If you have SPAN infested pages from another editor, you can clean them up in two easy ways. One powerful choice is to left click on the HTML editor tab, right click on your code and select Clean Up HTML. That allows you to instantly remove specific tags, including SPAN. I don't recommend doing that unless you are sure you want to remove every bit of SPAN code. A safer way is to left click on the WYSIWYG Editor tab, highlight the text you want to strip and click on the Clear Character Format button (looks like the letter A with an eraser sticking out of it). That will also take out bold, italics, and so on, so you'll have to pay attention. Goodbye Homestead I used Homestead's 'what you see is what you get,' drag & drop editor called SiteBuilder Classic since February of 2000 which made me dependant on Homestead. I didn't like being dependant on a host that seemed shaky at various times over the years, but I was afraid to leave. I couldn't leave Homestead since I was incapable of learning enough HTML to write my own code, and I couldn't find an alternative editor that was as easy to use as SiteBuilder Classic.
A member at the Homestead forums posted a thread about Namo WebEditor 5 in January of 2003, so I downloaded the fully functional demo and I loved it. My fear was gone. I could finally leave Homestead and sign up with any host I wanted to without worrying. It was also nice to know that I didn't need a separate FTP program to upload my files to a new host because Namo WebEditor has that ability built right in. Useful Software Grey Olltwit's Block Text Replacer This program is great for replacing or editing chunks of text in HTML files. You can update hundreds of web pages in seconds. This is a powerful and possibly dangerous tool, so be sure to back up your web site folder and be very careful. Don't use it if you're half asleep or not paying attention. I have made many changes to my web site with this Block Text Replacer in seconds that would have usually taken weeks. This is a great time saver if you're careful.
Removes the line breaks from blocks of text (gets rid of the rigid, rectangular shape of any block of text). |
