[WEB4LIB] Re: HTML editors

[Lara Little]

I use it as well, and I like it. Ideally I prefer a WYSIWYG editor (I
use Dreamweaver at home) but here at work, my only option for that is
Netscape Composer, which I can't stand. Arachnophilia lets you work in
code without having to know the code - i.e. highlight a word you want to
appear in bold, and click the "bold" button, and it inserts the
necessary code. And though it is code, you can set it such that you have
two tiled windows, one with the code you're working in and one showing
the resulting page in a browser, and it can change the page in the
browser as you change the code, so you can still "see what you're
doing". If purchasing a WYSIWYG editor isn't an option, Arachnophilia is
a good way to go.
