Thanks for your question.

The simplest one is Openoffice Writer, which is able to save the files as HTML pages. If you need an enhanced wysiwyg editor, you might want to install Amaya, which you'll be able to install through "Add/Remove..." at the "Applications" menu.

I think Geany is great to manage Html is simply and fast.

You can see the html tags in colors and hide/show blocks of information.

"Add/Remove..." at the "Development" menu.

It depends on your needs. Do you want a WYSIWYG application? Or just an editor with syntax highlighting and a few useful tools?

I don't know yet.
I used to use the composer of the seamonkey package. It called WYSIWYG or not?
Maybe it better to try both. not?

Do you have many options you should try a few before to start to work.

WYSIWYG means You use a visual interface but if you don't use WYSIWYG means you need write the code.

I don't sure but I think you can install Seamonkey in Ubuntu.

check it out look for the post No. 4

Maybe you are right that seamonkey can work on Ubuntu but I prefer something that comes in the package manager.
And, yes, I think that I need WYSIWYG.

I'm not sure of its current status, but I used to use a piece of software called Nvu.

kabads Nvu is not in the Feisty repository. It was in Edgy. jojo is asking for the package manager.

but Nvu s a good option.

macuto - you're right - sorry for missing that point. However, at http://portableapps.com/apps/development/nvu_portable *(still in development) you can download a portable version, which doesn't need installing, just unzipping and you get all the Nvu goodness. HTH.

SeaMonkey itself continues to be available for Linux, and you can download it directly from their site or add it into your third-party repository list under Synaptic.
However, there is a "non-branded" version of Moz/SeaMonkey Composer called Iceape which is available within the Ubuntu repositories themselves. To install it you may need to enable the Universe and Multiverse Ubuntu repositories, which I recommend anyway unless you want to be totally strict with using only FOSS software. Here is a step-by-step:
1. Start Synaptic Package Manager.
2. Go to Settings -> Repositories...
3. In leftmost tab of new dialog box ("Ubuntu Software"), check all the boxes. This will enlarge the pool of packages that Synaptic will offer you. You may need to refresh the list of available packages if Synaptic does not do so automatically. Close and return to the main Synaptic dialog box.
4. Search for "iceape" and when it shows up, click the checkbox; and from the dropdown menu, choose "mark to install".
5. Up on the top bar of the Synaptic dialog box, click "Apply Changes" (with the green checkmark).

Nvu is dead, it has been taken up by Kompozer:
http://kompozer.net/
Try this:
sudo apt-get install kompozer

I did and kompozer 7.10 worked well with Ubuntu 9.10

I am always so surprised when a simple command provides the solution without any problems finding the software and using it after it is installed. (Compared with Microsoft products)
