Oh, sorry. I was rushing too much. In that case this is a pretty good candidate since it has drawing tools as well. >> >We could create a howto for each tool: >> >Lenya, SubEthaEdit, Gobby, InkScape. >> >> I agree we should examine alternatives, but the only one in this list >> that is an alternative is SubEthaEdit, unfortunately that is Mac only >> (is it not?).

There is a section in the document for other tools, Addi (or was it Diwaker?) added another alternative there. If we need to use such tools we know Gobby works, but is a long way from perfect.
