Re: Good HTML editor for debian Linux?

[wim@netmaster.ca]

I am doing quite a bit of web stuff now, but up until now have been doing it
through an xterm->telnet to web server->joe, black on white.  I tried BlueFish,
but the preview in netscape button caused it to crash.

I would not mind something that could:
1. Gives color coding
2. Be good for perl AND html AND cgi AND javascript (I doubt I'll get all 4)
3. Let me save to a web server.
4. The only time I save stuff locally is for graphics, which I upload via ftp.

Is there something that will do most of this?  the color coding would be nice.
