Hi Folks,
<centre> * </centre> won't do anything 'cos it's spelt proper like, you have to use MS-English <center> * </center> to 'center text or w.h.y. (Did the cousins invent html, or was it writ in MS?
Cheers,
BD.
Incidentally, I use HTML Kit in Win, it might be worth looking at their site to see if there is a Linux version available. www.Chami.com
Cheers,

I think it's commonly known as 'International English'.
Also, I believe the <centre> tag is deprecated, you may want to use a style sheet to control the layout rather than that tag.
Cheers, Al.

Infernal, I think...

It works in all browsers that I've met, and as I haven't the time to learn CSS before *THAT* goes out of fashion, and deprecated, I shall continue to use <center></center>
Since most of my pages are individuals, I'd need a style sheet with each one.
While we're back on the subject, I'd appreciate anyone's comments on this (rather rushed job) floating in my webspace:

It seems to be OK in Firefox, Opera, Mozilla, and to some extent, IE.
However, if IE can't follow the rules of the game and observe accepted protocols, tough.

It's US English, nothing more.
The tag is probably spelt that way because it was introduced by Netscape, according to http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html32#center and its use has been discouraged since it first appeared in a standard.
The stylesheet equivalent is "text-align: center"

ISTR that Mosaic rendered <center>

Stylesheets are all very well, but as I understand them, (do correct me if I'm wrong - it's been known...) aren't they a sort-of template, to which several pages refer for their layout?
I *COULD* think of the point of having a lot of pages following the same arrangement on a commercial site with many products or services in different classes, or for rendering albums of pics, but for writing a 'creative' website, I'd prefer straight HTML.

That's one of it's benefits, it's not so much a template as a description of how to lay out various elements on the screen/page/some medium. You can define different stylesheets for different media, which is damned useful.

I'd rather a well written site using XHTML and CSS, thank you. CSS doesn't neccessarily have to be in a seperate file, it's quite possible to have it in the top of each page, if you want, in the head section, using <style type="text/css>csshere</style>, and also you can use it on a per tag basic with the attribute style="css here".
<center> is depricated, <font> is depricate, most layout elements are depricated, tables should be used for tabular data *NOT LAYOUT*. CSS can make somethings a lot easier, and anything else, well, you probably shouldn't be doing anyways ;)

I don't know whom you are replying to, but if it is to my post, I think the context indicates that I'm well aware of this, but old habits die hard innit.
Like - unless it's necessary as in a named program such as 'Scandisk', or a pooterword such as 'program', I default to 'disc' and 'programme'.

You can write it in any text editor and just save with the extension you want. You could also try xmlclitools which looks as if it ought to be a web editor, or OpenOffice to HTML Converter, in which you can edit the results, just as in a text editor.
You could also (probably) run Arachnophilia in Wine.
