The challenges of HTML editing

Hi all,

 

Following today’s call where I asked how to edit the pages, I was told that most people just edit in github.

 

I’ve not found an amazing environment – but it is significantly better than that: Visual Studio Code

 

First - Create a target folder

 

Visual Studio Code setup:
Download Visual Studio Code - https://visualstudio.microsoft.com
Open VS Code
Download the WYSIWYG add on - https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=node-projects.vscode-designer-addon
In the main page you will get an option “Clone Git Repository”
Enter - https://github.com/w3c/odrl.git
It will ask you for that target folder
Once it downloads you will have the folder structure on the left panel
To open an HTML page for some basic WYSIWYG:
Right-click on the file and choose “Open With” – then choose “Designer”
You will get something like this – because the page doesn’t have a defined background 
So the following missing tags will need to be added to your page:
After </head>
<body style="background:white;">
At the bottom of the document these should be the last 2 lines
</body>

</html>

 

For some reason (I remember FrontPage from MS) HTML editing has devolved … so even this solution will need to be a mix of editing both HTML and on the WYSIWYG plug in. (And GIT seems to have a problem with html – as I’ve tried different ways and it keeps removing spaces from the original HTML file).

 

If anyone has a better solution – please share.

 

Regards,
