Safari 5 has gotten a new feature: The Reader. It shows a simplified version of an article page with just the article itself (and not all the clutter around). It also merges multiple pages (if the article is split across multiple pages) to a single one.
This is an extremely useful feature and I would like to port it over to Chrome.
I was searching for Readers code in the WebKit trunk (e.g. http://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit/trunk/) but I couldn't find it.
Any hint where I can find it?
Safari Reader borrows from the Readability project, according to an article in the register. Readability implements a similar user experience, but does so in a cross browser fashion (using bookmarklets)
The project site is probably a good place to start:
http://code.google.com/p/arc90labs-readability/
I hope this helps!
BTW - I had links to several sites, including the demo site, the original artcile in the register, but stackoverflow won't let n00bs post more than one link. I will edit to add those once I have some rep!
UI-level features are generally part of the Safari codebase, which as Ivo said is not open-source. The WebKit nightly builds aren't open-source either, they are essentially versions of Safari that use an embedded, trunk copy of the engine instead of the one that shipped with the OS.
I'm not sure where safari's webreader code is. but there is a tool called boilerpipe that does something very similar
A good review on similar tools available is given on Tomaz Kovacic's blog: http://tomazkovacic.com/blog/122/evaluating-text-extraction-algorithms/
It contains comparison of text extraction tools (including boilerpipe, reaability and several others) on two sets of articles. Also there is a feature wise comparison in other article on the same blog.

I'm on the hunt for an open-source version of Adobe Dreamweaver to use for my freelance web development projects. I'm primarily a source coder, but I would find a split or visual view for CSS and design work, as well as native FTP functionality, helpful. My work involves HTML, CSS, JavaScript/jQuery, and ColdFusion. Native support for the latter, in particular, would be ideal.
I've come across the following programs that seem somewhat promising:
BlueGriffin (last stable version is dated June 19, 2013)
Brackets
CoffeeCup HTML Editor
A quick search here in the StackOverflow community turned up a couple of similar questions (see Dreamweaver alternative and Any open source alternatives for Dreamweaver using WebDav?), but I would appreciate more recent/modern alternatives.
I'm a Windows user running 8.1.
I'd love to know what others more experienced than me in this quest have uncovered.
To provide an update and answer to my question, I've found Brackets to be superior thus far. The editor is nifty in and of itself, but there's an absolute treasure trove of extensions to behold. For my specific needs, I found FTP-Sync and cfBrackets exceptionally helpful. They installed neatly and effortlessly.
Eclipse with the CFEclipse plugin , or CFBuilder (yes there is a free version)

I've found wkhtmltopdf, which looks good on the surface and works fine in very small cases, but it doesn't provide any real css control over the rendering.
By that I mean it doesn't use the print media type and page breaks are not respected, as well, on windows you can't control the names of some header/footer variables, or generate a TOC off of teh h1 tags.
Are there any real open source alternatives, I've tried xhtml2pdf which is a python library actually called pisa, but it requires reportlab which doesn't play nice windows.
I'm actually programming in .net but if its good and open source, the language isn't a huge issue.
This is an old stackoverflow question, but because google took me here, it could be helpful for somebody else.
Weasyprint should support what the author was looking for.
It supports print css features like page break.
Try weasyprint
It turns out there was no open source alternative that was simpler, but on windows wkhtmltopdf is just not the best thing, so we paid for a better solution.
Winnovative's PDF library is what we used
While it is not open-source, I use ABCPDF. I have a template page in .NET that I use for a wrapper to set up a custom stylesheet for generating PDFs only.

I need to record a demo of our application. Can anyone recommend a good screen recorder?
I have tried CamStudio, but it's throwing errors. Any other good free software I should try?
try UVScreenCamera, i think it's normal
Camtasia studio does a great job.
In the case the app is cross-platform (java, web-based) you can ask a pal with a Mac to use Screenium, Snapz Pro or ScreenFlow.
Static screen shots? Maybe Wink will work for you as well:
Problem Steps Recorder tool to make tutorials
You can do it with ScreenToaster without installing any software (kind of).
Otherwise if you prefer a traditional application Jing and Screen2EXE are both free.
Wink is freeware. From their homepage:
Wink is a Tutorial and Presentation creation software, primarily aimed at creating tutorials on how to use software (like a tutor for MS-Word/Excel etc). Using Wink you can capture screenshots, add explanations boxes, buttons, titles etc and generate a highly effective tutorial for your users.
There are lots of screen recording tools around, both free and professional ones, but I haven’t seen anything like ScreenToaster before. It's very nice applications for screen recording.

Is there an editor that is:
Available for at least windows and linux
Highlights multiple syntaxes in the same document. (Ala Dreamweaver)
Tabbed interface
All the editors I tried highlighted by file extension only which isn't fine grained enough.
At the very least it needs to distinguish scripting from html, css and javascript in the same document.
Scite!
The answer is emacs. You can do pretty much anything you want with that editor. There is a 'nxhtml-mode' which you can use to edit javascript, php, html,ruby, jsp,css, whatever on the same file. If you're still at university, the best advice I can give you is to start learning how to use emacs. It will change your life, really.
Eclipse (very good, but heavy)
vim (doesnt have tabs, but aprt from that very lightweight and very good)
emacs (only heard about it that is is very good, but it has a steap learning curve)
hop it helps
Netbeans.
I've only tried it with HTML av Javascript for two languages in the same file though.
I have used jedit. Just need a java runtime.
Handling syntax highliting and completion for multi-language files is something the NetBeans people have been working on and has been available for javascript since 6.1. I got the impression from JavaPosse#214 that this has seen further work in 6.5.
I don't Netbeans myself (my primary tools are Emacs and Eclipse), but It might be worth a look for you.
SciTE FTW!!! Doesn't even need an installation! A portable single exe.

Before I upgraded to Firefox 3 I used to constantly use the View Source Chart Firefox Addon which shows the source HTML in a very organized, graphical form. Unfortunately, this addon is only for Firefox 2 and the beta version for Firefox 3 now costs $10 on the author's site.
Anyone know of a similar addon that works for Firefox 3?
(of course, I might indeed pay $10 for this, but first want to ask around if there isn't anything better and free, as the version for Firefox 2 had its limitations and I don't really want to pay $10 for something in beta that I can't test out before paying for it.)
Is Firebug not sufficient?
You can try to use Nightly Tester Tools It overrides addons compatibility check. Using this tool I managed to bring all of my fav extensions from FF2 to FF3
View formatted source is kinda similar. It uses tree controls rather than pretty colour blocks, though.
Try Chris Pederick's Web Developer Toolbar.
You could always try Firefug. It sounds like it does a similar thing, plus more :)
i had the same problem...
you can use the free version (2.5.0503)...it's compatible with firefox3 and it's work.
on the web site it's write that it's not with full functionality but i don't know whitch functionality there aren't.
