[Fwd: FlexED HTML Editor]

[Ernest Perez]

If you haven't looked at FlexEX HTML Editor for Windows, you might want to 
give it a try.  I first heard about it in a Web4Lib note, and it's gone 
through a couple of minor version upgrades since then.  

It ain't a heavy-duty "site maintenance" system.  It is simple and easy and 
clear to use, so much so that I've found it quite productive to use in 
teaching HTML classes. Takes but a moment to get many of the students up to 
really productive work.  You can essentially forget about the syntax learning 
curve, and concentrate on what you're doing.  Some students produce screens 
that can really impress you, by the end of the first class!

The HELP screens are spare, but helpful.  The "Reference" screen in help is 
really an entry into a quite nice HTML command manual, with 
explanation, syntax, examples, etc.

FlexED has a decent internal HTML viewer, so that you don't have to worry 
about making sure you can load it simultaneously with your Web browser, have 
to start your Winsock, etc.  It has NICE tabular "wizards" for setting the 
parameters of HTML commands, so that you can play with the settings and 
appearance, whilst you see the effect in the (optional) split screen HTML 
viewer window.

It's worth looking at, and at $25, isn't gonna break your Web Development 
Budget.

Cheers,
