The practice authoring software has of rewriting code is a really annoying, and often destructivee thing. Since most authoring programs are still not as good as a person writing 'bare code', and most are miles away for accessibility/universal design issues, they ought to leave the code as it is, or ask before they take things out. I am not sure how to get this implemented, but I know that I have not recommended any product because of this - it takes about as long to teach somebody HTML as it does to explain to them how to use a program like FrontPage properly, and in the long run it means that they can take the rubbish pproduced by an authoring program and fix it. I am encourageed to hear good things said about HoTMetaLpro - I'll have a look at it as soon as I can - life would be easier if there was a product that could be recommended Charles McCathieNevile On Sat, 16 May 1998, Kynn Bartlett wrote: > Unfortunately, Composer doesn't even seem to maintain the doctypes > I've set when loading them; e.g., http://www.cgu.edu has 4.0 > Transitional set on it, but if I load it in Composer, the doctype > mysteriously vanishes when I view/edit the source. > > *grumble* >Received on Saturday, 16 May 1998 22:55:34 GMT
