I don't understand that, as I'm sure if someone had the time and
motivation could do one for basic HTML...
I use August but am slowly going over to asWedit - which are text-based
in the sense that it looks like a notepad/Gxedit with toolbars.
For example, I click the 'table' icon, it brings up a dialog box, I
input cell padding, width, #of colums and row, click return and it
generates the generic (spec compliant) tags. I can then input the table
data, and then hit preview, wherein it opens Netscape and shows me what
I've done so far. Itcan save snippets of tag/code as well, so it cuts
my time down considerably. I've evn gottenb August as a standard part
of the VA load on our workstations (I just got tired of using vi or
Gxedit ;)
