That's probably the most compelling reason to rename it that I've read so far - insufficient tab leverage in "bash". ;-) Anyway, I don't see what the fuss is about. It may be possible that WebUtils and MiscUtils conflict with some other modules or packages (of the same names), but one shouldn't necessarily need to use them that much - I got the impression that they contain miscellaneous functions useful for the internals of Webware which could be reused in other Python projects. >> > - more discussion on COMKit being external vs. internal to WebKit >> Good. > >But COMKit seems not to have anything to do with all those people who >don't use Windows.

On my platform it won't even load. ;-) Geoff Talvola <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >I'm personally not too keen on having to write XML documents.

I use Amaya to write HTML/XHTML documents, and I await the day I can write XML documents (with proper visualisation) in it too. It's time to learn the internals of Amaya, I suppose. :-) >I'd rather author docs using something like Wiki syntax, or >StructuredText.

The problem with structured text formats is that they become cumbersome once you need to add things like tables, and I find that documents without tables or images tend to sacrifice clarity by expressing everything as "dry text" within a standard hierarchical chapter/section scheme. Take a look at my XMLForms documentation [1] and tell me that without the images you would get the same kind of overview as you do now... or that you would get as far into the document before falling asleep. ;-) Paul [1] http://www.paul.boddie.net/Python/XMLForms/index.html -- Get your firstname@lastname email for FREE at http://Nameplanet.com/?su _______________________________________________ Webware-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
