Many years I used mozilla-editor for editing my web-page. Now I have installed Mozilla-Firefox and Thunderbird on amd64. As previously, I would like to edit my webpage by means of mozilla-editior. But I do not find it in Firefox nor Thunderbird. As I see the Gentoo developers prefer to have a separated e-builds for each application. My questions is:

Can I download (emerge) this small mozilla-editor separately, or in order to have this HTML editor and use Firefox I must additionally emerge the whole old mozilla e-build (Web-browser, e-mail cliend and newsgroup client, IRC chat client, and ... HTML editor) ???

In this case it's not a matter of Gentoo splitting up the ebuilds - firefox and thunderbird are standalone programs, and the editor will probably be released separately at some point as well. For now, you might want to look at nvu, which seems similar. (There are various discussions of which is the best wysiwyg html editor in the forums - here is a recent one).

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Desktop Environments.

I would also agree with Maedhros

NVU is based on the mozilla-editor and therefore your best horse atm
