HTML Editors & Trisquel
What HTML editors are members using with Trisquel? I write a lot of HTML. I am always on the lookout for great programs for making the job easier, quicker, more powerful!
Here's a few options
I personally prefer Mousepad at the moment. (Normally I'd use gedit, but I've had some problems with gedit lately, namely some occasional crashes, mouse cursor disappearing, and missing characters when I type.)
I like geany, it's a general purpose editor.

Geany is my main text/HTML editor right now. It was the first text editor I came across when I switched to open source two years ago. It has just been stuck there ever since. It's a great little editor. For now, I am switching between Geany and emacs. I think that once I am more adept with emacs it will become my main editor however.
For sure. Once you know emacs or vim nothing can replace them. So far I've been too lazy to learn them ;)

Over the vociferous objections of many on this list I installed Kompozer for its WYSIWYG features and similarity to the Composer that used to come with Netscape. There is only one little "hitch" that I've found and that is the inability to add a new line below a recently added table, which I fix by going to the "HTML source" view, adding a "" and then returning to "Design" mode. It's actually better than Composer, because it handles the code that comes with my web counter without my having to resort to subterfuges in order to save it accurately.
That said, my web designs have no fancy stuff at all ... just text & images, so your results may vary.
BlueGriffon is a editor powered by Gecko, the rendering engine of Firefox,
it's a modern and robust solution to edit Web pages in conformance to the
latest Web Standards. It also support many add-ons via their web site.
BlueGriffon is a fork of outdated KompoZer. BlueGriffon is not found via
Trisquel repo and it have to install from source package.
Bluefish is a powerful editor targeted towards programmers and web
developers, with many options to write websites, scripts and programming
code. Bluefish supports many programming and markup languages. Bluefish is
also found via Trisquel repo.

In installed Bluefish and gave it a try this morning. I like it. Thanks for the tip.

Another good WYSIWYG editor I tried out was Seamonkey Composer. Plenty powerful enough and easy to use. Will get the job done.
I like Atom. Simple and configurable. I respect Emacs, but for a Linux novice like myself, Atom hits the spot. Just be sure to turn off the Google Analytics Metrics package in it. Otherwise, its FSF approved.
When programming, I like to use GNU Emacs. I have typed up HTML in Emacs, and
it makes it easier to indent code, so the HTML is easy to read. Emacs has
plenty of powerful commands but you don't necessarily have to learn them.
Emacs also has support for many other languages' layout and standard, so it
is helpful to learn how to use it for when you want to try something else.
