KompoZer is a popular and acclaimed open source WYSIWYG HTML editor based on the now-discontinued Nvu editor (which is being rewritten as BlueGriffon by the original programmer^[1]). KompoZer is maintained by a community-driven fork and is a project on Sourceforge. According to a status update on January 20th 2009, KompoZer has been updated to Gecko 1.8.1 (still an old version) and code is being finalized after testing. The developer added an image depicting the updated user interface.^[2][3]

[edit] Standards compliance

KompoZer complies with the W3C's web standards. By default, pages are created in accordance to HTML 4.01 Transitional and use CSS for styling, but the user can change the settings and choose between:

• Strict and transitional DTD's
• HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0
• CSS styling or the old <font> based styling.

The application includes a built-in HTML validator, which uploads pages to the W3C's HTML Validator and checks for compliance.
