The page was a personal page where I was starting to jot down notes with tools I have tried. * When saving a document for the first time, does the tool proposes different options with regards to the format. This has consequences on the way files are served on server when looked locally in the browser or ftp'ed on a server. xhtml doctype -> .xhtml -> application/xhtml+xml html doctype -> .html -> text/html * "lang" attribute: Does the software warn users about lang information when creating a document? Does it support a general config? etc. Interesting in terms of i18n * Is the title is set by default or does the software proposes to give a title? title is mandatory in HTML. For example, Adobe Golive had by default the title "Bienvenue dans Adobe Golive versionnumber" in French. Many Web sites have this title because people just don't know. * charset - what kind of meta charset information is added to the files? When I change the encoding of the text, is it changed in the meta? * patterns for editing images? constraints attached to the edition. Why authoring tools developers choose one solution over another. etc. * what kind of html documentation is delivered with the software? spec? homemade? etc. * does the tool offer a way to check the syntax? on typing or manual check? does the tool knows when there is a mismatch between doctype and markup. * what kind of templates are delivered with the software? -- Karl Dubost - W3C http://www.w3.org/QA/ Be Strict To Be Cool
