ShellCMS supports LibreOffice Writer

LibreOffice has come a long way since I last evaluated Writer’s capability as a WYSIWYG HTML editor; it created lots of extraneous stuff that would have required a lot of processing. Now, it creates quite simple HTML.

Easy to do the usual things as required for these blog posts, such as bold and italic. Then there’s dot-lists:

• Item one here

• Item two here

Also the preformatted text tag, that is used for showing code:

# ls /usr/share/doc

And a hyperlink, this is where shellCMS is available as a tarball:

https://bkhome.org/files/shellcms.tar.gz

In the tarball, there is a script ‘webeditor’; copy that to the $PATH and ‘shellcms’ script will automatically use Writer as the HTML editor.

EasyOS has shellCMS builtin, at /usr/local/shellcms, and the next release will have /usr/local/bin/webeditor

There are some little layout differences from SeaMonkey Composer, but will be easy to become familiar with tweaking them. Such as text-wrap around images!
