I am looking for a wsyiwyg html editor for note taking as I build up a system to note what I am doing. I typically just use gedit, but this system's notes are getting complex, and using code tabs, lists, and the like would make it more enduring.
I am looking at lonote on my F17 notebook, but I would like to do the note taking directly on the Centos system.
Just basic html. Image inclusions if I do screen captures would be nice too.

If you find one, let us all know. Every. Single. Word processor (or at least Word and OpenOffice), along with the HTML editors I've tried in the past (including quanta) ALL suck dead roaches when it comes to o/p and formatting HTML. The word processors put *everything* on *every* single line, and nothing maintains formatting indents.

1st recommendation is to do everything in text mode and save the commands as scripts to re-run directly if you need to repeat the steps instead of figuring out what you tried to document the previous time.
2nd recommendation is that if you want online html documentation, use a wiki with its own editor and simple markup instead of transferring files around. I like twiki, but mediawiki is probably more popular and there are many other choices. That way you only need a browser and it won't matter what OS you have locally.
Finally, if you do need to use an editor to save files as html, libreoffice writer should work, but be sure you work with the view in 'web layout' and do the formatting with styles from the F11 menu with 'html' selected at the bottom.

Gedit supports tabs. I'm not sure what you mean by "code tabs"
Bluefish or Geany might be helpful, even if they aren't WYSIWYG editors.
Take a peek at Kompozer or Amaya. But like Mark points out, WYSIWYG html editors aren't all that great (and yes, Adobe Dreamweaver isn't perfect either).

+1 for using a wiki for your documentation

tags. Typo. <code> ... </code>

Looked a bit at Bluefish, not Geany.

Kompozer, I would have to build. I have enough on my plate right now, and HOPED to get something to 'just' install via yum. Did not look at Amaya.
But like Mark points out, WYSIWYG html editors aren't all that great (and yes, Adobe Dreamweaver isn't perfect either).
I am trying Seamonkey -edit per Harald, and it ALMOST looks ok. But the Wiki idea is something I have wanted to tackle anyway.

Will look into this more.

dokuwiki is another decent wiki, very easy to configure, doesn't even need a database as everything is stored in flat files. the flat files are really handy for use with auto-generated stuff, as you can just drop new files into the wiki folder and it will pick up on them.

What about "markdown"? Plain text writing that exports nicely into html.

+1 for markdown. readable text that exports perfectly to html/pdf/LaTeX and also has image tags.
