RE: HTML Editors, was How to edit a MV page, was <no subject>



I use Arachnophilia (Windows only). It's free (great license). It is not WYSIWYG, and not as powerful as many (e.g. no click on a tag to edit it in a dialog box), bit it is very customizable so you can add macros to insert Minvend tag templates. It has a HTML formatter that checks syntax and indents everything to make it easier to find syntax errors. Best of all, the formatter doesn't mess up the Minvend tags if you use <a href="[area ]"> rather than [page ] (I think it like to see an <a> </a> pair). And, it has an integrated FTP client that only uploads files that have changes.

Marie:
 
(You should include a subject next time.)
 
I my case I have to delete the original file from the server before I can upload the changed page via FTP.  My server does not allow a replace action, just create and delete.  That may be your problem.
 
As for using FrontPage or any other HTML editor, I'll throw this question out to the rest of the mail list.  "Has anyone had any success editing MV html with HTML editors?"  I've had to redo so many pages after they were edited with a HTML editor that I have banned anything but plain-text editors like 'notepad' and 'vi' for editing pages.  Is this the general consensus?
 
Cheers,
Gerard
