[cough, sputter, gag, cough, choke, choke...] Not if you want to generate anything resembling HTML. Gold can't even get do the right thing with basic HTML elements elements whose syntax and semantics were nailed down at the beginning of (www) time and haven't changed since. WYSIWYG and SGML is somewhat of a contradiction in terms, but I maintain there is *some* utility of a WYSYWYG approach with respect to HTML, particularly in the context of tables. However, stay away from NS Gold--it only generates NML (Netscape Markup Language). -john == jfieber@indiana.edu =========================================== == http://fallout.campusview.indiana.edu/~jfieber ================
