Creating your own web site is now as imperative as having your
own e-mail address. What was
Considered extremely esoteric by the general public just one year
ago is now commonplace -- companies are developing web sites for
marketing and selling their products and services, students are
creating web pages for classes, job hunters are using the web to get
companies to check their on-line resumes out, socially maladroit
individuals are finding equally reserved and reticent partners via
web pages, the list goes on... With so great a demand, it has also
become imperative for products to be developed that make sense
out of the somewhat confusing Hyper Text Markup Language. As a
result of the high demand and equally high need, the HTML Editor
market has emerged to become one of the most intensely
competitive sub-industries of the Internet. Users can now find
HTML Editors geared to first time 'netters, moderately inclined
'netizens, and even the most supreme of webmasters. In fact,
whatever your needs, there's bound to be an HTML Editor
available that will meet them. The following are brief descriptions
of each application featured on the HTML Editors.

My favorite, and the favorite around the Spring and NetRabbit, is HotDog
Professional. I'll talk in more detail in the HotDog item. I haven't
seen a wysiwyg app that I like yet, although FrontPage is a step in this
direction. Amazingly, I watched someone create some web pages with
Netscape Gold the other day and it worked pretty well.

My favourite HTML editor is vi, with collection of shell scripts, but the one I
usually recommend is HotMetal.
I recommend HotMetal because it is a good editor, and I do not know many HTML
editors (there could easily be better one output there). At any point, you can
easily find out what elments are allowed -- for example, whether you can put a
list at any given point. You do not have know about DTDs and such stuff.
The reason I prefer vi is that I know the parts of the HTML DTD that I need, and
usually do not do anything fancy. vi lets me pipe a range of lines through a
shell script, replacing the range with the output of the shell script. For
example, if I want a list of anchors, I can type a two-column tab-separated list
of URLs and descriptions, mark the line range (say a and b), and issue the
:'a,'b!h a|h ul
This pipes the range of line one through my shell script to get a list of
anchors (element A), pipes that output through the script again to get an
unordered list (element UL), and replaces the original lines with the final
output.
You can see why a part time programmer (guess who?) would like this, but it
will also be obvious why I recommend an alternative solution to many people.

I tried Hotdog Pro and Netscape Gold, and although HotDog is much more powerful it does not really have a WYSIWYG interface that runs simultaneously with its editor. Netscape Gold does. Being a person who still believes that you should have your Webpage acessable to at least the majority of the masses, I don't believe in putting a lot of the latest bells and whistles into webpages. THEREFORE, I find myself using Netscape Gold instead of Hotdog Pro.

As mentioned in the Hotdog Pro item, HotDog is moving toward wysiwyg.

I'm in search of an HTML color chooser. Does anyone know of a good one, or a place where I might look to find one? (I tried www.cwsapps.com already and couldn't find one there.) TIA

Just a quick note to say that Version 2.0 of NACHOS (Not A Childs Html Organising System) has been released.
Windows 95 only, but well worth a look.

Oh yeah, and it has a decent HTML color picker

Has anyone experience in converting hundreds of MS-Word files into HTML.
Which tool is the best to perform automatically sets of MS-Word files with few user interaction during the process (it should include graphics conversion).
Any suggestion?

In addition to Internet Assistant for MS Word, I've also found a new tool for performing the conversion of many MS-Word files.
Here's the URL

If you want to check HTML files, you can do it with "SP", a free SGML
from http://www.jclark.com/ or with OmniMark, a commercial package from
OmniMark Technologies Corporation -- http://www.omnimark.com/
Both SP and OmniMark use a DTD that describes the document structure.
you can get the HTML 3.2 DTD ( http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/MarkUp/Wilbur/ )
from the World Wide Web Consortium ( http://www.w3.org/ ).
SP is an excellent SGML parser but does not have all of abilities that
OmniMark have. Omnimark is an very powerful programming language for
document processing -- I have used it to convert WinHelp RTF files to
SGML.

I have a Word 97-HTML question.
I'm trying to save a file from the internet, then open it up on Word and look at the tags, but Word keeps pretending it is a browser and interpretting the tags as formatting. Is there a way to look at the source file of a web document using Word 97??? Or will it always turn bold tags into bold formatting?
How do you see the tags?

I figured it was "gooey"...but not that it was a graphical user interface. Thanks! I would ask you how and why it is used, but I guess I can hunt up that information for myself lest I look too stupid to chew gum and walk at the same time.
