Just a quick note about listserv discussions -- please try to keep your topic of discussion consistent with the subject header. For example, the last few notes have been discussing editors for web pages, but the Subject titles relate to the Washington Post article. Having said that, here are my thoughts regarding an easy-to-use editor: A great editor that supports the complete HTML 4.0 specification, is easy to use and, at the same time, very extensible is UltraEdit (www.ultraedit.com). I have been working with the vendor to support internal accessibility macros to further enhance it's capabilties. You can download an evaluation version off the web site. It's a menu based editor with fantastic programming support (preconfigured for HTML, C/C++, VB, Java and Perl). Support for XML is included as well. UltraEdit's creator, Ian Mead, is committed to supporting accessibility features in future versions. I have used it with a couple of screen readers and found it pretty accessible.
