- This is a very frustrating topic for me... so far I know of
- four HTML editing solutions for Amigas.. well actually five...
-
- a) learn HTML and just use any text editor.
- b) HTML Heaven, a suite of ARexx-talking programs that talk to
- various Amiga editors that have ARexx ports. (on Aminet)
- c) AmiHTML, a bound CanDO deck with its own editing area inside
- a buttony interface (might be on AmiNet, can't remember)
- d) WebMaker, another integrated editor with HTML command buttons,
- requires MUI 3.1 or higher. (on Aminet)
- e) Those Final Writer macros mentioned above. (on Aminet).
-
- I have used options a, b, c, and d, but not e.
-
- They all leave something to be desired, in my opinion, and I find
- myself using combinations of all of them from time to time.
-
- I use an off-line-capable Web browser, edit my stuff, save it,
- and reload the page in the browser constantly, after evey save.
- This requires a lot of screen flipping but it works, although it's
- tedious when one has a lot of HTML authoring to do.
-
- The Amiga desperately NEEDS a commercial-quality integrated
- HTML editor with full graphical wizzywig previewing features, OR
- a commercial-quality web browser with built-in HTML editing
- functions. I'll settle for either.
-
- Here's $100 in my hands, Amiga developers. I don't want to spend
- it on Adobe PageMill to run under Mac emulation. I'd rather
- give it to one of you. But so far, none of you have made the
- product that I want.
-
- Make the product and the $100 is yours.
