Great program. Quotes from site:

"A complete Web Authoring System for Linux Desktop users as well as
Microsoft Windows users to rival programs like FrontPage and Dreamweaver.

"Nvu (pronounced N-view, for a "new view") makes managing a web site a
snap. Now anyone can create web pages and manage a website with no
technical expertise or knowledge of HTML.

"Nvu is based on Gecko, the layout engine inside Mozilla; it's a super-
fast, very reliable, standards conformant engine maintained on a daily
basis by a wide community of developers. Its remarkable support of XML,
CSS and JavaScript offers the best authoring platform on the market. Its
architecture based on XUL makes it the most extensible editing tool
ever."

Borrowed from the NVU site:

Change Log
based on Mozilla 1.7.1
7-bit LZMA compression for a smaller windows installer

better horizontal and vertical rulers
colored source view
selection preserved between Normal/AllTags/Preview and Source views
BiDi control buttons now apply only at block level, as requested by users
new buttons to attach/center a positioned elements
toolbars reorganized
Inline Spell Checker (thanks to Neil Deakin and the Mozdev Group)
new preference for entities encoding
if the caret is in the last cell of a table and the user presses the tab
key, the new row now acquires the "style" of the previous last row
a very "pinger" sends us a trivial HTTP request when the user launches Nvu
for the first time, and of course is he/she is willing to do it; the stats
are online here; privacy is fully respected, the only data we store is the
date and time of the ping.
fixed bugs in the resizers
Typing in tables and nested tables was very slow in 0.41, this is now fixed
Linspire version calls kprinter
it's now possible to rename a file/directory in the Site Manager
linux builds (including Linspire) don't need any more the -edit or -editor
command line arg to open a URL; just give the URL in the command line...
it's now possible to drag an image from the Site Manager and drop it onto
the main editing window; other filetypes will generate a link
XFN 1.1
the preferences now have a Fonts panel

Known Issues
colored source view is not dynamic yet
if the selection is preserved between Normal and Source View, the Source
View does not correctly scroll to show the selection
if renaming a file/dir in the Site Manager fails because of file
permissions, no error message is fired
