Another web developer here. Is there an Ubuntu program which understands web templates from DreamWeaver (.dwt)? I use them a lot since they allow me to make site-wide changes in a single stroke.

I haven't tried any of the suggestions given to me but with programs like Bluefish, NVU, etc., do they have a feature where if I change the name of a page, all the other pages linked to that page would automatically update themselves for that new page name? I kinda like that.

well you can always run dreamweaver CS3 in wine, it works fine.

im not aware of any wysiwyg web editor that will do dreamweaver style templates which is odd as it is a rather simple and intuitive solution to templating.

there are a few tools described @ http://osdir.com/Article3344.phtml

personally i just use search and replace accross a directory tree in jedit or quanta, its not as elegant but combined with regular expression is very powerfull.

What ever happened to the trusty old text editor...

If you use CSS in conjunction with XHTML 1.0 strict, changing styles is a mere case of adjusting your positioning code, float code, etc. And all you need is any text editor and a few web browsers to test on.

But this is from my point of view as a web designer, you preferences may differ from mine.
