[WM] handling real HTML

[Brian Wisti]

Hi Eric,

I'm not sure I agree with your opinions, but that's why I get to have
a personal bias ;-)

You could certainly create content in your favorite WYSIWYG editor and
then refer to it in your .wmk file with a <contents /> tag. But why
not use whatever site management utilities are available in your
favorite editor? Dreamweaver is pretty good in that regard, and it
also has a plugin environment that lets people develop breadcrumb
generators and other nifty stuff like that. I'm not saying "don't use
WebMake", but it does seem like you would be duplicating a lot of
functionality by using your average WYSIWYG editor in combination with
WebMake.

Then again, maybe the editor you are thinking of using doesn't have
those features. What did you have in mind?

Kind Regards,
Brian Wisti
