Document Source Workspace View Document Source Workspace ViewThe Document Source workspace view is where you will spend most of your time in Spider Writer. This is where you create and modify your web documents using the many features and tools available. Spider Writer comes fully equipped with all the editing features you need, including instant syntax color coding of over 10 languages, spell checking, syntax checking, find/replace, multiple undo/redo levels, selection transformations, and much more.
