[rox-devel] HTML Adapted version of Edit

[Paul S. <psh...@ro...>]

I always favored text editors to create HTML, 
but with a few features... most noteably using 
drag and drop for link and img tag creation. 
(I wrote an app in... another simple programming 
language that I will not mention) and used it until 
I could no longer stand using a Windows machine for 
my private use anymore.

The long and sort of it is that I use and resell Linux 
machines and hacked out an adaptation of "Edit" for my 
personal HTML-endeavors. It depends upon imagemagick,
Image-Size and a bitty perl script. The script is 
included in a slackware package for RoxEdit-HTML
(as I called the adaptation) at:

http://www.pcbypaul.com/packageList.html

I also made a pkg for Image-Size if you are 
runnning slack with perl 5.8.0, otherwise 
you can get the source/RPM from:

http://search.cpan.org/dist/Image-Size/

BTW: I had to go against the stated "guidelines" to 
separate drag and drop links and the preferred method to 
open files with a ROX app... tried a dialog to ask if user wanted 
to create a link or open the file, but I did not like it.
[I just use Mozex in FireFox and set the source viewer to the app, anyway.]

Feedback would be appreciated. The only features I would still 
like to implement are a spell-check and a text2html for selections.
(Those 2 save time when I drop in parts of plain documents.)
