BlueGriffon ist ein recht netter (Freeware) HTML5 Editor für Mac, Linux und Windows. Der Editor selbst ist kostenlos, kann aber durch kostenpflichtige AddOns erweitert werden. Wenn man es genau nimmt, kostet der HTML Editor mit AddOns dann doch 35,- €. Mann kommt auch ohne die zusätzlichen AddOns aus !
BlueGriffon is a new WYSIWYG content editor for the World Wide Web. Powered by Gecko, the rendering engine of Firefox 4, it’s a modern and robust solution to edit Web pages in
BlueGriffon is an intuitive application that provides Web authors (beginners or more advanced) with a simple User Interface allowing to create attractive Web sites without requiring extensive technical knowledge about Web Standards. Because Gecko lives inside BlueGriffon, the document you edit will look exactly the same in Firefox 4. Advanced users can always use the Source View to hard-code their page.
BlueGriffon is tri-licensed under the Mozilla Public License 1.1, the GNU General Public License Version 2 and the GNU Lesser General Public License Version 2.1.
Praktisch an dem Editor ist, das man direkt in der Preview Ansicht Texte / Bilder etc. bearbeiten kann, der Editor merkt sich wo der Cursor steht und zeigt genau die Stelle wieder an, wenn in den Quelltest gewechselt wird und umgekehrt. Das Arbeite mit dem Editor macht richtig Spaß und der Quelltext ist sehr gut lesbar.

BlueGriffon ist einer der besten kostenlosen HTML Editoren, die ich kenne, er ist erweiterbar und kann auf die jeweiligen Bedürfnisse angepasst werden. Ich habe hier die Neue Version 1.4 verwendet, die eigentlich noch Beta ist. Trotzdem ist diese Version stabiler als die Version 1.3.1. Neben einigen Bugfixes gibt es in der 1.4er Version etliche Neuerungen:
- hidden preference
bluegriffon.defaults.forceLFto force saving documents into Unix mode (carriage returns are one LF). To enable that, open the Preferences, select the Advanced panel and open the configuration editor. Right-click in the main area and select New > Boolean. Enter the name of the new preference and set it totrue. To revert to the original platform-dependant behaviour, reset the property or turn it tofalse. UI for this will be added for v1.5.- switching to MAR files for updates
