TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Others (such as myself) never need anything other than emacs. Emacs does
it all, and then some. There is, for instance, an HTML mode that

steep learning curve to get over. But I've had emacs built into my
fingers for longer than I've had fingers, or so it seems.
