Re: Some notes to Netsurf

The point is: In an editor like StrongEd we have to type a lot of
<commands> for the structure and format of html-files. This is a waste
of time. It would be very helpful if we could do this in another, a
faster way: mark it and set it thick, in italics - what you need. The
same with pictures: Drap & drop a picture to the window where you want
to have it. See the picture self in the editor window - not the
<commands>. Double-click on it, window pops up and adjust. Same with
tables, headers etc. Very important is that this "advanched visual
editor" bewares the rest of the loaded HTML-code because of Java-Script
etc.

And so I thought it would be nice to do this directly by an webbrowser:
set the cursor to anywhere and edit the text.

The nearest to this on RISC OS was WebSpider, by Dalriada software.

WebSpider has a browser type interface - although it isn't a browser -
where you drag and drop text and images and place them where you want. You
then 'publish' the pages as a web site. It's about as near as you get to
WYSIWYG.

Have a look at http://www.dalriad.demon.co.uk/products/spider.htm

Dalriada nows seems to be defunct, but you may be able to pick up a second
hand copy.
