From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
KompoZer is an open source WYSIWYG HTML editor based on the now-discontinued Nvu editor.[1] KompoZer is maintained as a community-driven fork and is a project on Sourceforge.
The upcoming release, KompoZer 0.8, has been updated to Gecko 1.8.1, and code is being finalized after testing. The first public alpha version of KompoZer 0.8[2] was published on February 11, 2009 and featured a new user interface.[3]
KompoZer's WYSIWYG editing capabilities are one of the main attractions of the software. In addition, KompoZer allows direct code editing as well as a split code-graphic view.
[edit] Standards compliance
KompoZer complies with the W3C's web standards. By default, pages are created in accordance to HTML 4.01 Strict and use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for styling, but the user can change the settings and choose between:
- Strict and transitional DTD's
- HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0
- CSS styling or the old
<font> based styling.
The application includes a built-in HTML validator, which uploads pages to the W3C Markup Validation Service and checks for compliance.
