taco html editor has the ability to insert code into the html
document. It's under the insert menu option, it gives options for
commonly used things like links, images, image maps and the like,
then there's a link at the bottom of that list used for what they
call advanced tags.
This offers the insertion of nearly 100 html tags, and upon selecting
one of these tags out of the table, it then offers additional choices
(also in a table format) based on which tag you selected. For
example, when selecting the form tag, it then offers choices of
title, method, action, and so forth, all things that can appear in a
<form> </form> tag set.
Admittedly, you do need to know html fairly well, since taco html
editor assumes you know what you're doing, and won't doublecheck your
work for errors such as incompatible tags, but anyone who's
generating html pages should know what they're doing anyway. I
freely admit that many folks don't know nearly as much as they
should, and depend on their html editor (especially those using tools
like front page and such) to do all the work for them, which is a
real shame, because those kinds of editors almost always produce
bloated messy unreadable code, but if the user knows html well, that
nonsense can be cleaned up though it does take some doing since such
editors tend to break what the user fixes, which is why I much prefer
one like taco, that lets you do what you like, even if it's not
proper, it's an editor, not a code checker. I'd not expect my word
processor to write my paragraphs for me, and I certainly don't expect
(in fact, actively hate) html editors that try to write my html code
for me.
Taco html editor is just that, an editor that stays out of my way,
and allows me to get my work done, which is something I definitely
can't say for some other editors.
But, back to the original point of the post, the insert menu allows
you to insert code into your document anywhere it's needed, and it
will even add the various options for you as well, but it's up to you
to know which options you need.
That (at least to me) is exactly how an editor should work.
I can't praise taco html editor enough, and the fact that it's
accessible out of the box is definitely a major plus.
