       Believe it or not, I just downloaded this a few days ago -
          now with yet another recommendation, I'll make a concerted effort
to get to know this program; thank you.

Notepad++ has enough colorcoding to satisfy my needs.
After trying lots of WYSIWYG editors I returned to Notepad++ to get a clean
code.
But, when new to HTML coding, a dedicated editor is a good help.
At start the question was how to get the HTML code from Writer. This thread
has moved a bit from that ;-) .

 Hi :)
Notepad is possibly the most difficult text-editor to use.  It doesn't have
any of the fancy colour-coding that almost every text-editor has.
Regards from
Tom :)

             I've simplified HTML-coding by having the basics in a saved
notepad document
            to which I merely need add whatever whenever; I've yet to
find a
site which can't view these.

        Well, that's my 2cents' worth  ;-)

Yes, a text editor helps for some editing of an HTML file.  Yet, for some
work I need a WYSIWYG editor for the look and feel of the web document.

I use Kate [Ubuntu based Linux Mint] for the text editor.  I use it for
the
Find/Replace option to change 91 links from [say] "4.3.3.2_" to
"4.3.4.1_".  That takes too much time in a WYSIWYG editor, or at least the
ones I have used.

Currently I use Kompozer, but when I upgrade from Mint 16 to 17 [14.04
based] and beyond, the graphical display methods do not like the upgraded
version that Ubuntu 14.04/14.10 now uses.  So I will be looking for a
different DEDICATED web page editor.

Yes, Writer can do the HTML editing, but I would prefer a WYSIWYG editor
that was created specifically for web page editing and hopefully with
error
checking options.

 Hi Kolbjoern

Thanks for the reply.

The document already exists - so I'm selecting 'File Open', I change the
File Type to 'HTML Document (Writer)' and select my file. It then opens

in

"view" mode - So how do I get to the code to edit it??


 I just tried it again, and I think I see your problem. I did exactly as
you did, and the "HTML source" option did not appear on the View menu. I
think the problem is that, when opening the file, you are changing the

File

Type to "HTML Document (Writer)." When you do that, all you get is a
WYSIWYG display along with no HTML source option. So, I tried it again,

but

instead of changing the file type to "HTML Document (Writer)" I kept it

at

"All types." Then when I opened an HTML file, I saw the source code

instead

of the WYSIWYG display.

Not sure if this is intended behavior or a bug.

(All this said, I agree with Tom that I would use a regular text editor

to

edit HTML code. Gedit works nicely on my Ubuntu machine.)

 Hi All

Can I get some help on this please??

I have read about, and looked-up, the possibility of editing HTML
documents in Writer but can not get it to work!!
No matter what I do I can not fine 'HTML Mode' or 'View HTML' as

talked

about ion the help files.
I can load my document but can not get at the HTML code.

What am I missing or doing wrong??

I'm using LO 4.3 on PClinuxOS (latest)

Thanks for any help.
