Re: [PLUG] HTML Editors - Amaya


Hi,

I tried amaya and.. how can I put this nicely.  I was very
disappointed.  Mozilla's wysiwyg editing isn't too bad, because now you
can edit the code and switch back to a preview.  Also OpenOffice.org
(and staroffice) lets you edit HTML docs.

As an aside, I got my hands on the full (non-beta) version of StarOffice
6.0 today.  On the one hand, it is still the same program as
OpenOffice.org, but it does have a lot of spiffy tamplates and such
included, along with a better spell-checker, etc.  It's not like I went
broke with the $9.95 I spend to subscribe to red-carpet express to
download it ;)  I've spent a while playing with it, and suspect it is
from OOo 1.0.0, as it doesn't have any of the so6 beta or ooo641c bugs
anylonger.
