[...] Each editor used his favorite software to author the source HTML (I use emacs, for example). I also use emacs (X-Emacs in fact) to produce HTML by hand :-) I imagine it was a lot of work to produce the transformation phase in order to get something homogeneous ! Anyway, congratulations ! The result is nice to read and it is very easy to find the desired items ! I was asking you that because I have purchased Corel WordPerfect 8.0 but it doesn't output (when it agrees to do it without crashing !) a "WYSIWYG" HTML : it could be much better in fact (even if there has been (little) progress since version 6.x ! In fact, the version 6.x was producing good HTML according to what the HTML specifications allowed then... I am disappointed to see that they didn't do so much progress in 2 versions later :-( ). I was looking for a worth/reliable software (with the same industrial features a big WordProcessor has and with its ease of use ! :-) , but I see that the most valuable is to do it ourselves ! :-) I hope that this answers a few of your questions. Thanks again, I am totally satisfied with your answer ! Merci beaucoup ! Mathieu
