That is a very interesting article about WYSIWYG editors, and I hope to
study it more closely. I am a newbie to HTML and web page creation,
but I do happen to have FP 2003. Like the original poster, I was
wondering why anyone would want to learn HTML when programs like FP and
Dreamweaver exist. However, Dan's article does help to clarify why
learning HTML might be very helpful. Thanks.
I remember a while back creating a web page in MS Word XP just for
practice. It was not a complicated web page at all, but when I looked
at the source code actually created by MS Word, I could not believe how
complex and how extensive it was. HTML coding would have been very
straight forward and not nearly as complex. I was wondering at the time
whether that complexity was a good or necessary thing.
One of the advantages of FP 2003 for HTML lovers is that the program
can simply function as a very good HTML editor, without adding FP's
smoke and mirrors, if the writer wants that. You can also use FP's
special tools for web site creation, and still tinker with the HTML
source code behind the scene (although I am not anywhere near
proficient to do much tinkering with the more complex code yet).
