I beg to differ. CSS is part of the solution, but not a complete solution per-ce. There are many things that cannot be done effectively with CSS. For instance, having a common header and footer for the page, or putting an element wrapped in <b> ... </b> tags inside a table. AFAIK, CSS cannot and is not supposed to do this. I believe XSL transformations, along with CSS offer a complete solution as XSL is Turing Universal and very flexible. But I don't think Muli will like it, if he already hates HTML. My favourite CSS resource is: http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/css/ At least that's how I learnt CSS 1. > [of course, the more straighforward answer to your question is "use Mozilla's > editor", or something like that...] > Like I said in a previous post, there's a difference between an HTML editor and a content management tool that allows managing an entire site with ease. But an HTML editor will also be good for people who are HTML-phobic.
