Web Authoring Tool
Project description
Traditional Web page development used to be limited to the use of simple text editor such Notepad.

The World Wide Consortium Web site (w3c.org) calls the first set of tools “text editors” or “HTML editors” while the second tools set are called “visual” or “WYSIWYG” editors. The W3c Web site also lists pros and cons for using each set of tools.
