I suspect I will have already moved on by the time the Linux HotDog version 
comes available, but just to let you know the background of why I have 
stuck with it up until now.

Some of you may be aware that I prepare documentation, i.e. hardcopy and 
online manuals and online help. And yes, I like doing it specifically for 
describing electronics and software. Anyway, way back when, one of my 
clients required a cross-platform (Windows and *NIX) online help system and 
manuals. I implemented this using a collection of HTML documents. When I 
started this project I was not as yet connected to the Internet and 
requested a set of floppies from a very puzzled Sausage Software - they 
could not figure out why I wanted an HTML editor if I was not connected to 
the Internet :)

My selection was based on it being a straight HTML editor from which I 
could invoke many different browsers, excellent HTML reference, project 
management and the opportunity to upload web material using drag and drop. 
Also, it had a neat utility that would strip all the HTML tags from an HTML 
document created by MS Word as provided by my client ...

Thank you to those of you that voted and or commented here and suggested 
alternatives.

All the best
Jacqueline
