There are many HTML Editors
available on the Web. Back in the old days, say 12 months ago, creating a
Web pages was a chore best left to experienced HTML coders
The job meant typing in HTML tags (snippets of code describing a page's
typefaces, frames, tables, positioning, and so on)
--then viewing the resulting file with a browser, then going back and
tweaking the tags until the page was just right.
That was then. Today, a cluster of HTML editing products promise to take
some of the drudgery out of the process. Whether you're a dabbler who wants
to create a simple Web page or two
, an intermediate user who needs to embellish a site with forms and tables,
there's an HTML editor out there that could make the job easier.
HTML Flavors
HTML editors come in two basic flavors: Wysiwyg ( what you see is what you
get) editors that try to insulate you from HTML code entirely and HTML
programming tools for those who want to ease the chore of hand coding
rather than eliminate it.
The goal of Wysiwyg editors is to make creating a Web page as easy as
producing a word processing document. To try to review the different Web editors
available on the Web today is beyond the scope of this writer therefore I will provide
hyper-links to various sites to enable you to evaluate the numerous
programs presently on the market.
HTML Editorial Reviews
I had hoped to present a review of an HTML Editor this week
but in retrospect I feel that I do not have the necessary experience to
qualify me as a "reviewer". Therefore I will link you to sites that do
reviews full time, in this way you will get the benefit of up to date
programs and useful feedback on your search for the optimum HTML Editor.
