Thanks for the many replies to my earlier request for html
editors that yield clean code.
Here's another question, related to one I posted before my
much-too-short vacation. Can anyone recommend an html editor
that will take chunks of html (perhaps stored in separate files)
and insert that code in line in another html page? I'd
originally hoped to handle this much like graphic files are
inserted into html. But from the replies to my earlier question
and from some reading, it seems that it can't be done that way.
Here's why I'm asking. On one of my projects, we're spawning off
a new variant of the software. The differences are relatively
limited, so I don't want to have 2 nearly duplicate sets of docs
that can get out of synch. The powers-that-be want separate
documents, NOT a single doc with variant 1 and variant 2
sections where appropriate, which is what I'd originally wanted
to do. (By the way, this is a different project from the one I
discuss in the "Baiting for Single Source Rant" thread.)
Since this is a fairly small project, this needs to be a
relatively simple solution. I can't justify the expense and time
involved in setting up some intricate system. Besides, we want
something that wouldn't be a nightmare for someone else to pick
up if I'm not available.
While I'm composing on a PC running NT 4, the pages will run
mostly in Netscape 4 on a variety of OSs on standalone machines.
Thanks for any suggestions and, for that matter, ideas on other
ways to handle this.
