WYSIWYG HTML or XML editor?

Question

Do you know what-you-see-is-what-you-get editor with following features:

1. Designed for editing HTML or XML (or other open markup formatted) files.
2. Open-source
3. Capable of operating:
   • text
   • images
   • tables
4. Available on Windows
5. Offline

I've lots of miscellaneous data in form of text notes, pictures and tables. Now I have an idea to organize all this stuff and make some sort of diary. I am intended to bind it in one file with text & links. But I need an open-source solution and have to use open human-readable format. Because I've already had some headache after partial data corruption of .xlsx and .docx documents. Need something more simple and reliable.

Answer 1

I would suggest taking a look at Red Notebook:

• Free, Gratis & Open Source
• Cross Platform including Windows
• Diary like Journal layout
• Searchable
• Text, Images, Links & tags can be inserted
• Simple set of formatting commands that are very similar to here.
• File storage is a directory structure of JournalName/yyyy-mm.txt where the file contents are YAML structured text.
• Backup format is .zip
• Export the journal to plain text, HTML, Latex or PDF

Answer 2

• It is open source.
• It have feature that code view. You edit the content as html codes.

Answer 3

There is an app BlueGriffon that is a WYSIWYG website builder. It's free and I think it meets your requirements. There is an excellent tutorial on how to use this. Just Google 'BlueGriffon tutorial'. I'm using this to build my web page. It's an excellent app with many nice features.

The tutorial has a chapter on posting your website to a service for others to see. You can just skip that part. rest of tutorial is about building a web page.
