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.
I've used Hot Dog, MS Frontpage, HoTMetaL Pro, Adobe PageMill, and
Notepad (actually did my first large corporate site using Notepad). Hot
Dog and Frontpage are good, but I can't remember if they let you edit
the HTML code. Frontpage also has a fairly steep learning curve.
HoTMetaL Pro is a pain to use (uses "tags" to indicate HTML codes) and I
gave up on it and settled on PageMill. It has a few aggravating features
also, but it does let you view and edit the HTML code directly. In fact,
in versions prior to 3.0, that's the only way you can specify a
particular typeface.
Hope this helps.
