Looking for a software

Post by Peijen »

I am looking for a light weight xhtml editor that can do the following:

Think of MS Word, think about using 'Styles and Formatting.' Basically I want a software that allow me to create documents and apply formatting using some kind of styling (CSS?). The software also needs to be able to save the documents in plain text format and separat the data from formatting. I think something that create xhtml strict or 1.1 will work great.

I found this guy: http://www.xstandard.com/ Which does exactly what I wanted, except that it's not a standalone program. It's an ActiveX plugin and I am too lazy to create a program on top of this.

Let me know if anyone has a program that does what I wanted or if they want to write a front end to xstandard.

What exactly are you doing? Are you just putting up content or are you making it more interactive?

I originally wanted a document creation tool, but I am not looking to do anything with it any more. I came across the fckeditor today and thought it falls under that category.

I might try to do something cool with it. If nothing else I will try to convince my boss we should use it in our project.

I used that before for some wiki development I had to do. I didn't know that was what you were looking for when you asked the question. FCK is what is the default for most wikis now.
