Basic HTML version of Foils prepared 11 May 1997

Foil 4 HTML editors

From Introduction to HTML--ECS400 fall 97 ECS400 Senior Undergraduate Course -- Spring Semester 97. by Nancy J. McCracken *

1 There are several software packages to help you with the tedious business of putting in all the formatting tags. Here are some that I know people who use:
  • Adobe PageMill for Macs
  • HotMetal for Unix and Macs
  • MicroSoft FrontPage for PCs
  • BbEdit, not really an editor but nicely formats results
2 Here are some that I know people who DON'T use:
  • Claris Home Page
  • My Software's My Internet Business Page
  • MicroSoft Publisher97
3 Issues to look for
  • Nice interface, ease of use, low reliance on techie terms
  • Templates (example pages) to get you started
  • The program should load any html text file, not just files in its own internal format.
4 Editors can never have all the latest features and tags, so knowing how to add tags by hand is always a help.
