I love Emacs and use it exclusively to edit text. If a directory of text files is good enough for you, then by all means, go at it. I have tons of such directories! When you need to have a (possibly distributed) group of people working on the same documents, however, and you want to have it well-organized, revision controlled, displayable in a pretty manner, readily navigatable, and hyperlinked, then a wiki seems like a much better choice than a directory filled with plain ascii files. > The point I was trying to make is that HTML is NOT a good interactive > system where you need to do data entry.

A quick Google of "emacs wiki" reveals a number of freeware products that might meet your needs: http://repose.cx/emacs/wiki/ http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/EmacsWikiMode http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/PlannerMode http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/MuseMode http://www.mwolson.org/projects/EmacsWiki.html |>oug _______________________________________________ bblisa mailing list [email protected] http://www.bblisa.org/mailman/listinfo/bblisa
