On or around Sun, 18 May 97, Paul Brown is alleged to have muttered
something along the lines of -

PB> Obviously our dearly loved Dr has become misinformed as to the developments of
PB> the latest WWW page making software that has hit the market this last year or
PB> so - even if it is unfortunately on the PC !
PB> 
PB> Look at Frontpage 97 and compare that to ed or cygnus ed ? or perhaps hotdog !
PB> 
PB> Say no more ...

*Yawn*

Do you actually KNOW what HTML is?

Clue - it is NOT wysiwyg.  Never has been, never will be.

Programs like Frontpage 97, OTOH, are written in such a way as to pretend it
IS wysiwyg.

The result is crap pages that look awful on all browsers.  Imean, wtf use is
an HTML authoring package that completely ignores most of teh fundamentals
of HTML?  E.g. alt text in img tags, for one very important example.

Whenever people try to create pages with those pseudo wysiwyg editors, the
results are always disasterous, I'm afraid, because the editor is trying to
do something that is blatantly impossible.

TTFN,
Keith.

PS fwiw, I use GoldEd + hsc.
