PageEdit - XHTML editor

A somewhat early-stage HTML editor but as it's from the team behind Sigil team, I'm definitely optimistic.
Steps:
1. Download and install
2. Copy contents of the Program Files folder to another folder
3. Uninstall
3. Launch PageEdit.exe

Status: Not portable, writes to
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\sigil-ebook\

Homepage:

Topic update: PageEdit v2.1.0 released 2024-02-15 (changelog at github.com/Sigil-Ebook/PageEdit/blob/master/ChangeLog.txt; note however that the Github repo only shows v2.0.2 from 2023-10-27 as the latest release!).

In my brief testing, (Uni)extracting worked fine; I also noticed PageEdit not only writes to '%LOCALAPPDATA%' (as noted above by webfork) but also to regular '%APPDATA%' -- here's the fairly standard code for a yaP launcher:

Code: Select all

; configuration file for yaP v0.7.1.5 (http://yap.rolandtoth.hu/)
; application name: PageEdit
; version: v2.1.0
; website: https://sigil-ebook.com/pageedit/

[GENERAL]
application = App\PageEdit.exe

; commandline = 
; workdir = 

[BEFORE]
dir = %APPDATA%\sigil-ebook\ :: Data\A
dir = %LOCALAPPDATA%\sigil-ebook\ :: Data\L

...
PageEdit has it own user guide released as an EPUB: https://sigil-ebook.com/pageedit/guide/ (which has its own Github repo at github.com/Sigil-Ebook/pageedit-user-guide/releases; latest is from 2019-10-31).

Lastly, please head the dev's warning:
PageEdit can't open EPUB files. Mainly because it's not an EPUB editor. It's primarily a WYSIWYG XHTML file editor. Because of its close integration with Sigil, it's most often used as a WYSIWYG editor for the XHTML files within an EPUB. But it's not meant to be used to open EPUBs. It can't.
