Saint-Germain en Laye, France (PRWEB) May 10, 2011
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. Powered by Gecko, the rendering engine of Firefox 4, itās a modern and robust solution to edit Web pages in conformance to the latest Web Standards, including HTML5, CSS 3, SVG and MathML. Easy to use, BlueGriffon is the perfect editing environment for both non-technical and advanced computer users to create and publish professional and attractive Web sites without requiring coding skills. It is available for download free of charge at http://www.bluegriffon.org.
BlueGriffon 1.0 can create and edit all HTML 4, XHTML 1 and HTML 5 documents offering full support for the HTML 5 forms, the HTML 5 video and audio elements and more.
BlueGriffon 1.0 also has an exceptional CSS support. The built-in Style Properties panel offers controls for all the CSS properties and values Gecko implements. The usual suspects from CSS 2 but also a lot from CSS 3: 2D Transforms, Transitions, Shadows, Linear/Radial Gradients and Repeating Gradients, Border Images, Columns, Flex Box Model, and more. This panel automates as far as possible the insertion of styles into the document, meaning it will always find a way to apply the requested styles.
BlueGriffon embedding the popular āSVG Editā add-on for Firefox, it is then easy even for non-technical users to add SVG-based vectorial graphics to any Web page. Accessibility is also an important axis for BlueGriffon, the editor offering a simple user interface to manipulate the most important ARIA attributes.
Add-ons are available for BlueGriffon from http://www.bluegriffon.com, as part of a āFreemium Modelā. Already available add-ons include a Table Layout manager, a MathML mathematical formula editor or a Toolkit manager. A professional CSS Editor with features unprecedented on the market will be released soon.
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 userās editing work can be done in that view instead of directly typing HTML or CSS code. Of course, more advanced users can toggle between the WYSIWYG editing view and the HTML code view. To see more features of BlueGriffon, visit http://www.bluegriffon.org.
āThe 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 BlueGriffonā, said Daniel Glazman, CEO of Disruptive Innovations SAS.
āIām just loving BlueGriffon Editor! XML, HTML5, CSS, ARIA, SVGEdit all built in. Easy interface, win/mac/linā, said Molly Holzschlag, Web Evangelist at Opera Software and Web Design guru.
