BlueGriffon unveils open source WYSIWYG editor

FRANCE: BlueGriffon 1.0, a new WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) content editor for the World Wide Web, was released today for Linux, Macintosh and Microsoft Windows.

According to the release, the new editor is powered by Gecko, the rendering engine of Firefox 4 to edit Web pages in conformance to the latest Web Standards, including HTML5, CSS 3, SVG and MathML.

Easy to use, BlueGriffon has CSS support which helps both non-technical and advanced computer users to create and publish professional and attractive Web sites without requiring coding skills.

"The Authoring community needed a cross-platform Open Source content editor for the Web matching the modernity, speed and power of the most recent Web browsers, an easily extensible editor allowing efficient Web designs. That editor is BlueGriffon", said Daniel Glazman, CEO of Disruptive Innovations SAS.

"I'm just loving BlueGriffon Editor! XML, HTML5, CSS, ARIA, SVGEdit all built in. Easy interface, win/mac/lin", said Molly Holzschlag, Web Evangelist at Opera Software and Web Design guru.

BlueGriffon is a WYSIWYG Web editor, meaning that Web pages will render in BlueGriffon exactly as they render in Firefox 4 and that all the user's editing work can be done in that view instead of directly typing HTML or CSS code.
