To begin, I must say that I have not used dreamweaver, so what I say may or may not apply to that program. The main problem with using wysiwyg html-editors is that they (for the most part) do not correctly follow w3 standards. For example, they use an inordinate numper of paragraph tags and non-breaking spaces to achieve formatting. Also, they tend to use deprecated tags, such as <center> and <font>, instead of styles. If an html-editor could be developed that correctly followed w3 standards, then there would be no problem. > Marcelo Perrone, at 17:28 -0300 on Wed, 6 Dec 2000, wrote: > > What do you guys think about that?
