Wrong.
Version 0.7.10 was released 2007-08-30. It's in development active.
The reformat issue is a legacy from NVU and can not be fixed in this
program at all. Use Tidy.

Check the Forum: http://wysifauthoring.informe.com/

Original author of NVU, Daniel Glazman, is working on "Composer", who
will not the reformat issue.

The Composer in SeaMonkey (and the Mozilla Suite before that) is the
foundation for the later NVU, Kompozer, and "Composer".

I don't think this module is the one that is being worked on the most...

Does anyone else have a cross-platform editor that they like then? I installed
SeaMonkey and didn't see anything useful that I didn't already have with
Kompozer. I don't like the reformatting, either.

Composer is a component of the the Netscape Suite, the Mozilla Suite,
and the SeaMonkey Suite. That is the chronology of
development/evolution. The only one actively in development is now
SeaMonkey. However, I don't know how much, if any, dev work is being
done on Composer.

When Mozilla.Org dropped development of the Mozilla Suite, Daniel
Glazman started a project to build a stand-alone Composer and called it
Nvu. Apparently the Nvu project is now dead.

Kompozer is built on the same underlying rendering engine as Composer
and Nvu. The main difference is that Kompozer is in active development.

Use Kompozer as it's the most advanced of the three.

How does http://www.pagebreeze.com/ compare to Kompozer and SeaMonkey,
anyone here tried it and formed an opinion? Just curios.

All the best,
