The feature set has been pretty solid, and the application is fairly robust. There’s not a ton of changes in the 1.0 if you’ve been using the development releases.
I’ve been watching BlueGriffon pretty closely for the last six months or so, looking for the 1.0 to come out.
But it has a lot of features for digging in and tweaking styles and making a page pixel perfect if that’s what you want to do too. And if all you want to do is to create a basic page that’s in HTML, that’s all you need to do. I say “deceptively” because you can start using BlueGriffon to create a page in the same amount of time it takes to open a new document in LibreOffice. BlueGriffon has support for generating CSS Media Queries, so you can have stylesheets that are applied depending on what features a device supports.

These days you not only need a Web site that’s optimized for all the desktop browsers, but also a site that renders well in mobile Safari and the Android Web browser as well. I’m not a CSS expert, but in playing with BlueGriffon a bit, it seems that you can produce some really interesting results without having to know much (if any) CSS at all. That includes support for embedding audio and video using HTML5 elements.īlueGriffon also includes an SVG editor, support for CSS up to CSS3 - including a CSS parser (JSCSSP) that is meant to ensure that its CSS is valid for all browsers - not just Firefox. I hesitate to use the “HTML5” moniker, since that’s so overused to mean so many things today, but BlueGriffon does have support for elements in the current HTML5 specification. It’s set to handle any of the current HTML/XHTML specifications. In terms of looks and feel, BlueGriffon seems quite a bit like Nvu, and Mozilla (and Netscape) Composer before it.īut it’s been updated quite a bit since the Composer days.
#BLUEGRIFFON REVIEWS CODE#
It uses the Firefox Gecko rendering engine for its WYSIWYG view, and seems to inherit quite a bit of other code from Firefox as well.
#BLUEGRIFFON REVIEWS LICENSE#
The core application (as opposed to add-ons, which we’ll cover in a minute) is tri-licensed under the Mozilla Public License 1.1, the GPLv2, and the LGPLv2.1. BlueGriffon is sort of a continuation of that, since it’s the same developer leading the effort.īlueGriffon is a Mozilla-based “content editor” for the Web. Actually, it’s not the first on the scene - there was Nvu, but it fell by the wayside after the sponsorship from Linspire dried up. There’s certainly been plenty of demand for a WYSIWYG editor - and now we have one, BlueGriffon. Many users have cut their teeth using WYSIWYG tools, and don’t want to wrestle HTML and CSS code. If it was good enough for Web pages in 1999, why change? But not everybody is happy with technology that was cutting edge when Flock of Seagulls were popular. The recently released 1.0 of BlueGriffon brings an impressive toolset to Web designers and other users who want a slick, open source, Web Editor.įor some users (like me) Vim or another text editor is all that’s wanted for creating Web pages or working with CSS, etc. Include audio, video and pictures in your website (related to the chosen topic).If you’re looking for a WYSIWYG Web Editor for Linux, look no farther than BlueGriffon.
