Thanks.

Hi Miguel,
There are many free ones out there... but did you want it just for html,
or for html / css ? you may even want ASP / PHP / JSP support.
What did you have in mind?
I would however recommend that you are very knowledgable of html before
you begin using a wysiwyg editor...... purely because if a tool does it
all for you, you'll ever learn. Learn it first, then use a wysiwyg
editor.... (most people once learnt, will never use these editors anyway
purely coz they bloat your code)

Please log in for more thread options Hi Rob,
The software would be used by content editors on the company's intranet, I
am quite competent in html etc, but the editors won't have time to learn it
therefore we need a free product that people updating content can use as the
money is not available to supply dreamwever / frontpage to the company as a
whole. Any recommendations appreciated.
Thanks.

Content editors don't need WYSIWYG. Have them concentrate on editing
_content_, not layout. Have good designers work on it first and give
them good stylesheets, and allow them good preview features while
they're editing the content. A good stylesheet not only looks good,
it's also semantically rich so that content editors merely need to tag
items as "A callout box", and it'll be treated as such.
And review your styles as an ongoing process - otherwise your content
editors _will_ discover evil ways of doing something they can't
currently do, and will start using it. If they want to do something,
support them in this and help them to do it right. Saying that it's
On www.t3.co.uk the content editors wanted a byline after a story,
but they didn't want this as a separate <para>, because that would
cause an ugly (sic) blank line space before it. So instead they took
to embedding the byline inside the last para like this:
<p>My story ...
...in conclusion.
<br /><em>Paul Foot</em></p>
As a result of the project architect not liking a particular feature
(for no good reason), they now have some really bogus markup that
can't be re-styled properly in the future.

If the authors are all using Internet Explorer, it may be worth using a browser
based wysiwyg editor.
Do a search on Google for:-
browser based wysiwyg rich text editor
There are some free ones of these floating around.
Hope this helps.
