Perhaps we're talking about different sorts of "taggers". Perhaps the British variety are peculiar but they tend to be more interested in what shape their glasses are (square is definitely "in" right now) than what HTML editor they use. Nic: Please use this to edit your pages from now on. Black-Polo-Neck: Uh - right. Yeah. Cool. >So getting a GNOME HTML editor to understand Webmacro >wouldn't really make much of difference to me in real life. I think you're getting confused about what I'm trying to say. I believe that Jon is also having trouible making his point. The people we are talking about are NOT computer people. They are people who are primarily interested in what something looks like. Buzzwords go over their heads, technical details don't dent their conciousness. They are *designers*. I'm _trying_ to use humour here because otherwise what I'm saying may come across as a tad offensive towards that species (and I don't really mean to do that). But what Jon and I are both saying is that you've got to make it as simple as possible for humans, not hackers (which is real difficult because we're all hackers). My point about making a tool was really not "what operating system" are they using but that I could do it, if I wanted. I won't coz I don't work with designers anymore (I wonder why?) and because even if I did I'm not a great fan of Webmacro.
