[QUOTE="Redrobes, post: 4047009, member: 40793"] I'm with Thanee all the way here. I use notepad or the editor of DevStudio (as a text editor only) if its handy. But theres no problem with notepad at all. Honestly all this need for a WYSIWYG nonsense is pulp. Ultimately its got to look right in all the browsers so use the browser. Also, most of my web pages are done in Perl cgi now anyways. I would flag wave PHP though I have never used it. My websites aren't all that especially great and people have slated them - naturally - but they are still one of the few that give you a correct full screen view of the page. Tables are a PITA. Just learn 'Div' and 'position' and tell me you still think they are better. Theres the odd occasion where they are useful but in general use a CSS region. Honestly as I get older and wiser I am going more luddite and command line. And do I write Word files in notepad.... are you crazy ! Word ??!!! I just don't know how I would cope without Perl, Make, ImageMagick and the old DOS prompt. Edit -- Oh yes and if I had to write manuals Id use LaTeX too. PDF's suck like anything. Isn't there a post here today about keeping various versions compatible ? Exactly my point made right there. Knew a chap who did the whole of his company documents with a makefile + perl to format up LaTeX docs. I reckon he pretty much converted me to the "dark side + caret". [/QUOTE]
