Mozilla Composer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Image:Moscompos.PNG Mozilla Composer is the free, open source, HTML editor and web authoring module of the Mozilla Application Suite (aka SeaMonkey Project). It is used to create and to edit web pages, e-mail, and text documents easily. It is compatible with Microsoft Windows and Linux.

Composer is an easy-to-use, WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get), graphical user interface (GUI), HTML editor. You also can view, write and edit HTML source code with Composer.

Linspire is sponsoring Nvu, a stand-alone version of Mozilla Composer which incorporates Cascading Style Sheets support and other improvements from software company Disruptive Innovations.

Daniel Glazman, the lead developer of Nvu, announced on September 15, 2006 that he has stopped official development on Nvu and he is developing a successor to it, tentatively called Composer (or Mozilla Composer 2.0), as a Mozilla.org project. It is written from scratch and based on Mozilla trunk Gecko 1.9 and XULRunner. PHP and CSS will be supported. A community-driven fork, KompoZer, maintains Nvu codebase and fixes bugs until a successor to Nvu is released.
