Did you not feel that it is there to permit to compose a mail in an
html
format.
I know that this composer is old, but, when i compose a VERY SIMPLE web
page, it's wonderful.
I have Composer -.0.0-.1 showing as an installed Extension! This would
seem to imply that it is *not* necessary to have Composer installed!
So does this mean that there is enough capability with-in SM proper to
compose HTML e-mails already??
Yup. For email there is only very basic HTML 4.x requirement to send
HTML email. HTML5 is not required, not likely ever will be, for email.
Composer itself does not support HTML5. It defaults to a DOCTYPE of
4.01 Transitional which, today, is hideously outmoded. And, it won't
let you change it within the Composer program. You need to edit the
source in another program.
Look, the bottom line is:
If you don't know what you're doing you use a WYSIWYG program like
Composer.
And then you let it produce lousy code and post it online and wonder why
people have issues with viewing it.
Or, you are serious about making compliant Web pages. And you don't use
Composer or any other WYSIWYG editor. And you learn HTML and CSS and
write compliant pages that validate and display (nearly) the same way in
all major browsers.
At the very least you do NOT use Composer. If that is your last resort
then use Blue Griffon. At least it's not totally dead.
I take exception to that in one case.
DreamWeaver is capable of WYSIWYG, code, or both at the same time and
the Current version is capable of HTML 5.
And while html 4.0.1 Strict is "out of date" many, many, Websites, and
Pages still use it. As HTML 5 is not gaining a lot of traction. (I
didn't say gaining any traction).
